  I second the motion.  This problem (together with the lack of print 
  spooling) is the main reason I find myself flipping back and forth between
  Finder and MF.  Most of the time, I use Excel with tiny spreadsheets, 
  together with some other applications.  It would be unworkable to give 
  Excel more than its normal memory partition, since most of that is unused.
  But I occasionally open a dozen largish spreadsheets at a time.  This just
  doesn't work under MF, because the partition is too small.

  Although Wayne's suggestion is not a perfect solution in my case, it can be
  made to work.  And I can't think of a better one.

  BTW: Adding a SIZE resource to a document shouldn't require a resource
  editor.  Perhaps the existing "Get Info" mechanism could be extended to
  work with documents.
