Agreed. The answer to "I want to use greater-than-255-character
strings" is "they aren't strings, they're text blocks, treat them
as such."
 
And if you have any media with pathnames longer than 240
characters, it desperately needs tidying up, not just from a Wimp
point of view, but from a general usability and understandable
structural point of view.
