I tried email, but it bounced, so here are your answers:

No.  The built-in linker "automatically removes unused code and data when
building an .EXE file."  Check out pages 220-221 of the TP Reference Guide.
If it's not on those pages, try the index under "Smart linking" or 
"Linking, smart."
Note:  The smart linker is disabled when you compile to memory.

The TP User's Guide says you can edit code up to 64K.  (page 239, 
Appendix B: Using the Editor)  Doesn't mention whether it can be
increased.

No problem.  And, by the way, I'm not trying to be nasty by giving you
the page numbers in the manuals.  Just thought you might want to look
the stuff up to get more info.
