Shell has a special facility for squeezing output lines down to a
'Squeezed text' label. This is done automatically for output over N lines
(N = 50 by default). N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General
page of the Settings dialog. Output with fewer lines can be squeezed by
right clicking on the output. This can be useful for extra long lines.
Squeezed output is expanded in place by double-clicking the label.
It can also be sent to the clipboard or a separate view window by
right-clicking the label.
