Commander X16

I'm using LINPUT on the console for a short helper program to build my Word file for Hangman. I'm using it to get a short Clue phrase. At vastly sporadic intervals, its crashing the program with a ?STRING TO LONG error. I'm not inputting more than 40 characters into it. And the crash is extremely RANDOM.

Getting the Same Error intermittently when using LINPUT#LFN. And I've looked at my files in a HEX Editor. They are all $0D terminated and the string is much less than a MAXSTRING. Input#LFN seems to do what I need it to anyway. It gets the entire $0D terminated string, So I can just use INPUT.
