A useful DA, but I would like to note that FastEddie, though it
does use the TextEdit routines in Rom for speed, DOES handle files
larger than 32k.  It automatically opens larger files as multiple
windows and performs all file operations on all of the windows
associated with a file.  Since I have been editing files on the
order of 50k-75k--I bought FastEddie specifically for this purpose
and can highly recommend it.
