   Sneeze will chop TXT files into 12k chunks adding .A .B ect. after the
name to each. ProTerm will also chop files into 4k chunks if the file is
in the editor. With my 1 meg RAM card the editor maxes at 45K. If 4k is
still too big for you, you might try  Ultramacros. I think I could do it
with Supermacros, but I don't think they ever make a version that would
work with AW 3.0 . If you have a version of Supermacros that _does_ work
with AW 3.0 drop me an e-mail and I'll see if I can write you a macro.
Good Luck!
