Shane:

   Thanks for bringing me up to speed.  My favored platform (and now he
commits heresy) is a PC, and not a MAC at all.  Hence I know very little
about Apple products/OSes, but because of your patient counseling (and I
include everyone on this list in that category) I *am* learning.

   I will *also* say that I did try to load all 127k of the file, and I
had problems but I am beginning to believe that it was programmer/operator
error rather than any inherent limitations of Applescript.

   Take care.

R,

In the first movie, close to the climax, Keanu Reeves and Carrie Ann Moss
take a harrowing express ride up an elevator by explosively disconnecting
the counterweight.  Just before activating the detonator, Reeves says
something.  What was it that he said?

FWIW, in AS terms that's far, far from huge. In OS 9 you would want to set
your applet's memory partition to maybe 1Mb or more, depending on what
else
you're doing; in OS X just read it in.
