Along the same lines...  Is there such a thing as a text editor that loads in
only portions of the file you wish to work on, a la WordStar?  I sometimes get
massive ( > 512K) text files that I need to do simple editing on and none of
my word processors can handle it, and I have 5 MB of memory with 4.25 MB on
line (768K RAM disk).  I've tried with AppleWorks, AppleWorks GS and
MouseWrite.  None can load such a file.  Any comments or suggestions?

Oh, yes I do split the file using List, but would rather not go through such
machinations.
