Maximum number of LOCAL variables?

[Ben Fairbank]

I am getting syntax errors in a program that has more LOCAL variables than I have used before, and the error cursor always goes to a variable in my LOCAL variable list. named maxheight I can find no flaw in the variable (but, who knows?). Several questions come to mind:
Is there a maximum number of permitted local variables? If so, what is it?
Can a LOCAL list be split and continued on a second or third line? If so, how?
What IS the maximum line length permitted in a Prime program?
Does the language permit the inclusion of more than one LOCAL statement?
These seem to be pretty basic questions, but I cannot find information about them in the "User Guide." Is there any more comprehensive source of information??

Many thanks for information on these.
