The maximum number of windows, panes, and popups that Project Editor allows you to define is approximately 153 total (windows, panes, and popups combined). However, the actual Viewer limit is 255 for each type: 255 windows, 255 panes, and 255 popups. If you wish to define more windows, panes, and popups than Project Editor will allow, edit the .MVP file without using Project Editor. (README.TXT)

The largest legal value for the NEAR operator in the [SEARCHDLG] section of the project file is 32,768. (README.TXT)

Section names specified in an MCI [sections] option or section file should have no more than 40 characters to ensure the section name fits when the title is viewed on a low-resolution display. (README.TXT)
