Hi Dylan,

	This came up in the early days of rush, I think its something
	like 2048 or 4096, or something like that.

	Whatever the limit is, rush prints an obvious 'line too long'
	message if it does hit the internal limit.

	But you don't have to cram everything onto a single line;
	the frames command can be specified several times to accumulate
	a large list, eg:

rush -submit << EOF
..
frames 1 300 150 2-30
frames 34-299 381 456
frames 489 581-786
..
EOF

	I know of no limit (other than ram limits) when you do it that way.

	So if you're generating a large list procedurally (e.g. from a script)
	I'd recommend you split it at some line length that's easy to read
	and paste for practical pasting/debugging purposes, like 75 characters
	or some such.
