incorrect documentation for intrinsic function read

[Stefan Fronzek]

Hi,

the documentation for the intrinsic function "read" says that it reads in
"maximum of 80 characters" per call. This appears to be incorrect as I was
able to read in 596 characters with one call of the read-function.

Does anyone know if the maximum number of characters for the read-function
is independent on e.g. the operating system or the grads configuration?

I am running Grads on cygwin/Windows, the config can be seen below.

Best regards,
Stefan
