Question: Does Copy (CTRL-C) have a limit?

Hi:

I want to copy some Maple output elsewhere in the form of Maple input.

Usually, if I highlight the output expression I can copy it with CTLR-C, and paste it elsewhere where it appears as Maple input.

Just like you'd expect and just like you'd want.

But if the expression is fairly long and complicated (it covers two lines on my screent this time), the highlight insists on including the > symbol on the next line and when I paste, all I get is the Maple output that I started with.

If I write the output expression name to a temporary file and read it in another worksheet, the same thing happens when I ask for the name of the output expression - it appears as Maple output. But I need the expression in the form of Maple input so I can modify it.

All this makes me think that there is a limit to the size of the copy buffer, but I can't find anywhere to change that.

Does anyone know how to do this very simple task which usually works reliably for small expressions?

Thank you.
