LimitText didn't help; first I tried 128K, didn't either fail, nor help;
then I tried 64K, ditto; then I tried 32K, just to see if it would actually
limit the text (last element in largest text was 50K +), & the *full text*
was displayed in richedit, still no selection past 32K.  So it would appear
that at least in the not-most-recent Win32Lib, LimitText may not be working
in its intended fashion for RichEdit?  Maybe it's working in newest.

Any other thoughts for allowing programmatic selection in richedit past 32K
in Win98 1st ed without having to have user import the dll?
