 === Linebreak Character ===
-So, using the linebreak character '%' (or, more strictly speaking, the S-JIS '%' character) we can embed a normal return into the printed text. One thing the above examples show is that we seem to be limited to a maximum of 3 lines of printed text during a normal interactive text dialogue screen. If you try to embed any more than 3 lines, it will actually start overwriting the first line again.
+So, using the linebreak character '%' (or, more strictly speaking, the S-JIS '%' character) we can embed a normal return into the printed text. Alternatively using the '|' character we can inject a return and then upward scroll of the immediately printed text. Note that the latter won't work particularly well on the interactive scenes, due to the taller image being shown.
+=== Available Line Width ===
+The width of all text during the introduction sequence (auto-playing and interactive scenes) is **30** characters. Anything over that length will cause:
+  * Truncation and graphical errors (auto-playing segments)
+  * Auto-wrapping of the text to the next line (interactive scenes)
+=== Available Row Size ===
+During the auto-playing introductory sequence up to **4** rows of text can be shown. During interactive sequences the number is reduced to **3** rows maximum. The on-screen image shown during the latter sections is larger, hence there is less available room for text - even so, it does appear that there is room for more, but attempting to do so will cause:
+  * The 4th and greater lines of text to wrap back to the 1st line, overwriting it
