<p>Mike actually added a <code>get global string</code> command in 2005 for Rusalka, but it's completely undocumented, noone has ever used it, it's unusable without a list of constants, and therefore at some point I commented it out of plotscr.hsd.</p>
<p>Global strings are stored in a table with no max length information available. We could add a <code>set global string</code> command which the the max allowed length encoded in the constant (eg offset 120 max length 20 -> 12020), and if you pass it an invalid constant you would break stuff, but as long as there are no overflows and it doesn't crash I guess that doesn't matter.</p>
