[text size] returns 5. [2(-[text get] returns 'symbol drei'. The
message after that is accessed with [3(-[text get].
Wow, you're right of course! *big facepalm* In all these years I never
realized that comma seperate messages count as seperate "lines"!
The documentation of [text] only always speaks of "lines" and one would
think that "line" would mean, well, "line of text".
From [text get]:
"text get" reads the nth line from the named text and outputs it.
From [text size]:
"text size" reports the number of lines in the text or the length of a
specified line.
How am I supposed to know that
1 2 3, a b c, foo bar baz;
actually counts as 3 "lines"?
I think a more proper term would be "message". I think the documentation
has to be improved. @porres to the rescue!! :-)
