I wrote a msg to Marshall, saying that at sometime in the past I had been
able to change Notepad's maximum allowable file size by changing the 
win.ini file like so:

[notepad]
size=xxx  where xxx is the max kbyte size.

Unfortunately, I wrote Marshall before I tested it (tho I warned that it
might not be the correct method), and even more unfortunately, he passed
it to the net before he tested it.

*** the above "solution" DOES NOT WORK ***

Apologies to all (including you, Marshall) who have wasted time trying this.

As I informed Marshall in my msg to him, I was able to change this notepad
parameter, at some point in the past, I just can't remember how I did it.
I'm working on it.

As for WRITE, it's 200k in size!! seesh.
