Ah, okay, this was the part I was confused on, despite Ken's last post.
Problem is, you're limited to 32K of data. That's basically a little more
than 16 full terminal screens of data. That's not terribly much room. I'd
personally opt for something more robust.
And Ken, don't ask how I missed "_not_" when you took pains to underscore
it. Maybe the underlines were hiding more than * or - would have. They're
kind of like ninja characters. :) I see what you were saying now.
