The line continuation is basically cosmetic. It allows you to avoid
long wrapped lines in your code, but when the rcfile is parsed it's
still one long line.
Anyway, yes you can set LINEBUF. I use LINEBUF = 8192, and in one place
go as high as 32768. As far as recommendations, that probably depends
on what you're doing. Either set it high, or use trial and error to
find the minimum acceptable level for your usage if resource use is an
issue.
Thank you for your kind assistance.
