Manage file line lengths #5

Description lines longer than 30 chars or commands longer than 80 mess up the menu.

When processing the file abort if lines are too long. Do not throw away characters as this could lead to unforeseen issues with the command line being truncated - get the user to fix the line lengths.

Created FileFormatHandler branch to add the readline processing and error message handling to.
