I'd like to create a chat program in which I can send and recieve large chunks of text all at once. Like, larger than mooclick's send-a-string stuff allows. What would be the best way to go about doing this thing?
For great justice, and indeed pie.

Use LaceWing. There is an example by LB on the Clickteam forums.

If there's a limit to MooClick's "send-a-string" limit, then why not just break your string into pieces and send them through? I would imagine the limit is 255 characters, so throw three or four edit boxes to the side of the frame and use your Len, Right$, and Left$ to figure it out.
The first 255 are easy.
Left$(Text$("text box")), 255)
^^Send that sucker through MooClick.
The next chunk is a little tougher.
Right$(Text$("text box"),(Len(Text$("text box"))-255)
^^Dump the result back into your text box.
Left$(Text$("text box")), 255) through mooclick.
If you set a counter to Len(Text$("text box")) / 255, +1 to a second counter every time you pull out and push a chunk of text until both counters match, then it's EOF (end of file). Or, you know... I could be in the middle of a highly complex brainfart, in which case please ignore everything I've said.

I thought about doing something like your suggestion, The_Antisony. Buuuuut I'm not sure how to find out what the character limit is, exactly.
