I tried to reply but the message bounced.  When you start Basic(a) from
the DOS prompt there are options that you may use; one of these is
/S:bsize.  The default maximum buffer size for random files is 128K,
 you may specify up to 32767 for the buffer size.  I found this one
page 2-6a of my BASIC 1.1 manual (I couldn't find it in 3.0 or 3.2)
From the DOS prompt enter  BASICA /S:1024.

No signature (beyond my ability at this time)
