Steve,

I have an old program called BUF160 which expands this limit to 160 keys.
Don't know how it's implemented and don't care as I haven't experienced
any problems such as you describe.  If you don't get a better offer, send
me some mail (but be wary of the 'R' command, I believe that there are
numerous instances of non-reversable paths in posted articles).  If you
'R' and don't here from me, I'm not ignoring you, I probably didn't get
your mail, so try the paths in my .signature.  If any others also mail 
to me, I'll post it, it's not real large.

regards, Larry
