Make sure that the TOPICS have NOT EVER BEEN re-ordered

http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/qs/topics.html

"WARNING – Once the Topics= keyword has been initially coded, you must 
never reorder the topics in the keyword definition. This could seriously

I'm not sure what the max string length is for a topic (I looked in the 
docs and could not find it).
