My understanding, from reading the documentation, is that you can put as much
into a richedit as you want.  However, when you do that, you lose some
functionality.  Specifically, you can only use the find messages to find text
within the first 64K of data.  This is because windows uses 32 bits to denote
the range, where the high/low bits represent the start/finish (I don't remember
which is which--take a look at win32lib if you're curious).

I've thought a little about this, and I suspect that you'd have to do some
fancy stuff by watching how big your data got, and streaming stuff in and out
at the begginning or end to make sure you don't go over the limit.
