Barry Wiseman propounded (on Wed, Jul 02, 2014 at 10:27:05AM -0400):

| You need a pair of empty (zero-length) files named keyx1 and datax1.
| (In *nix this is easy but I'm always scratching my head how to do it
| in windows.)  Place these in the directory where the big key is, and
| filePro will automatically start writing new records there instead of
| to key and data.  From inside filePro the segue from key to keyx1 is
| invisible.

Sorry, I tried that, and it didn;t work.  A new record got added to the
existing key/dat, niot the new key1x/data1x.

| There is a facility for this in Expand Files.  At the "How Many
| Additional Records" prompt, type the word "switch" instead of a
| number.  However, as Mike Schwartz remembered, this only works when
| there are actual multiple filesystems, a rarity on today's machines.
