You have room for 2499 characters (including end-of-line) in each indicator. It's best if you can
squeeze everything into the available space. Remove comments first then try and compact everything
else.
I usually create indicators in the Indicator Builder rather than in a word processor. MS spots the
errors quicker than I do. One way to find how much remaining room is available is to fill the space
with an asterisk "*" or some such, and count the lines before no more can be entered. There are 48
characters per line so 2 lines is just under 100 character etc.
Fml() and FmlVar() are not as bad as PREV but they still create processing overheads that are best
avoided.
