1/ We can't get a longer size today because of the file structure. We 
will maybe consider its size in the next major release, even if I think 
that the Alt-N (note) is the way to go for this (as well as a fancy 
formatting). Remember that WT is *not* (and will never be) a general 
logger. The DXPed is almost itself an accident ;-)

2/ You can use the space char in the info field, assuming you don't use 
it to *access* the field ! Check the Options / DXPed submenu (only 
visible when opening a DXPed file, of course).
