I haul my hard disk between a small RAM machine and a big RAM machine
and I have some problems.  If I configure it so I can use the big
machine well, I can't even use paint tools in HyperCard when on my
small machine.

I think Apple set the number to be a compromise between `too small for
you' and `too big for him'.  If you want to change it, give it a try.
From the default 10 files to 25 seems just fine for the big machine,
but is very tight for the little machine.
