Procedure names exceeding 31 chars

Hi all,
extremely long procedure names might look very strange. But I think
readability of a source code and sound names are a matter of quality.
In rare cases it happens that I need names for procedures that exceed
31 characters. Using such long names unfortunately causes some problems:
- CpcBeautifier traps when beautifying
- StdInterpreter traps when in a form a command button is pressed
which is linked to a procedure with an extremely long name

I have done modifications to CpcBeautifier.odc and to
StdInterpreter.odc (please find the file BeautifierAndInterpreter.txt
which contains the modified files with the modifications marked in
red) which work fine so far. But of course I am not sure if I have
done all necessary modifications.

I admit this is a nasty topic, at least for the developers of the
corresponding code :-) because it does not address a "real problem"
nor does it add any new functionality. On the other hand it would be
nice to get rid of this restriction in BB1.6 (I'm still working with
BB1.5).

With best regards,
Rainer
