+This function sets the maximum number of characters the user can enter into the

+not counting the terminating {\tt NUL} character.
+
+If {\it len} is $0$, the previously set max length limi, if any, is discarded
+and the user may enter as much text as the underlying native text control
+widget supports (typically at least 32Kb).

+If the user tries to enter more characters into the text control when it
