	Ya, I understand all of that.  But you seem to think it is fine that  
an 11 meg file can't be opened.  11 meg!  I don't need an excuse for  
why an application running on a laptop with 4 gig of memory can't edit  
an 11 meg file.  For pete' sake, stop and look at your friggin  
response!  It's an 11 meg file.
