Every time I have a long basic code, and I list out, after much lines the Basic editor buffer overflows, and does not let upwards more than certain lines.
How can I change the editor buffer size, and what is the default value? What happens after warm-reset?
As I remember correctly, I have to close the channel first (but which one?), then change the buffer size and reopen again.
Because of closing the editor buffer, I am not able to do it in the editor, I have to write a program.
Please help!

I think the system variable BUF_EDIT(31) is the memory count. If you ASK 31 A, and then PRINT A, it answers 8.
Channel 0 is the EDITOR: channel(default channel) on Basic.
I have not tried it.
For me it is also annoying to LIST an average program and not be able to edit it complete

SET EDITOR BUFFER <buffer size in 256byte pages>
and then
TEXT
On a 128K setup with BASIC, 126 as buffer size worked for me.
127 caused an *** EXOS error type 9248.
128 seems to mean the same as 0.
