Bill D, Some web browsers take much more ram than that of the file they're looking at. My broadside index is about 3/4 magabytes, and with my 16 Mbytes of ram I can read it all in, but that's not enough to use the FIND comand for anything more than 1/2 way through the file with my Netscape 3.0. It's probably best to use the copy command to copy to a file, then use a word processor to read it. A man in Edinburgh couldn't get my index from his web software, and requested a copy of the file. This went without a hitch with the same ram that the web browser couldn't cope with. That file is now zipped and available for download from Edinburgh.
