Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_29).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

scala> :power
** Power User mode enabled - BEEP BOOP SPIZ **
** :phase has been set to 'typer'.          **
** scala.tools.nsc._ has been imported      **
** global._ and definitions._ also imported **
** Try  :help,  vals.<tab>,  power.<tab>    **

    scala> vals.isettings.maxPrintString
maxPrintString     maxPrintString_=   

scala> vals.isettings.maxPrintString = 10000
vals.isettings.maxPrintString: Int = 10000

or

$ scala -uniqid -Xprint:typer -Yshow-syms -Dscala.repl.maxprintstring=64000

where the sample output will show truncation without the higher limit.
