My WIN.INI file is 26K. Notepad can not edit it without the above statements. So I tried [notepad] size=64 for 64K. It didn't work either. I don't know if I'm doing this right. It isn't documented anywhere I can find it. Martin did say that he hadn't tried it for a long time. Maybe it worked with an earlier release. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait for 3.0 to come out. I hope the protected mode stuff will allow larger files. If it doesn't, I'll be in the market for something... -- Marshall L.
