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.
