As Gary said, you were probably close to the limit before adding that code.

If I recall (it's been a long time since I've seen it), that was an issue 
of TS4 and not TS2000i.  I think TS2000i was supposed to allow you to 
program without the 64K(?) limit.

I did run into limits in TS2000i's Power Editor when using earlier 
patches.  When my code got REAL long (1000 lines?), the Verify operation 
would fail to indicate where errors were.  I reported this bug, but they 
made no commitment to fix it anytime soon.  I've since moved all of my code 
out to DLL and only use small amounts of EL to interface with my VC++ DLL.

So... options to investigate:
1) IncludeSystem as Gary mentioned (I have no significant experience here, 
but have heard it suggested)
2) move chunks of code out to a DLL if you know C, C++ or (?) PowerBasic?.
3) upgrade to TS2000i (am I suggesting giving more money to Omega?  eeek -- 
try above first)
