Help!

I have a very large (2 megabytes) ascii text file which I am
unable to load into AppleWorks GS despite the fact that I have
4.25 meg!!

Is there a way to "trick" AWGS into loading it?  I have used 
FileManager to manipulate the filetype, but no dice!

I would like a program similar to long play which would allow
me to view a text file directly from disk.  Is there a program
like this out there?  I would also like to have editing 
capability from within the program (basically selecting areas
and saving them to the clipboard or scrapbook).

Don't ask me why the file is so large!!! I downloaded it from
my account and then destroyed the original.  I could upload it
back to my account and edit it there, but that would take too
long!

Thanks in advance!

Mike
