Hmmmmm.. Thanks for the warning Gary. I doubt I'll be working with files that
size since I use it mostly for writing code and the modules never get quite
THAT big but it's still nice to know....

I'm reading mentions of FW and PD editors myself. Always interested in
what else is available even though WS has become second nature. Presents
problems in my Unix environment though. uEmacs doesn't know what to make
of ^KS^QP :-)
