Re: file size limitations/out of memory error msg

Tested the new version. Works fine, DX increases speed a lot.
 I think this version is ready to use.

Only to learn:

-Wthout BC WAIT there are no improvement in speed. As I use many 'dos /c'
recourses, may WAIT help to avoid memory problems? Ill test it in other
complicated programs to fill the efect...

-Excuse me the imprecision: not the 'funccion' BC ME (very clear) but the
'funccion call' MR. Just after the sub-rut to complete the spaces you
wrote:
TF WG and then MR. Afther this, the GLb to complete the last details.
  Thanks a lot!

I had this vague recollection that freezing the display had some
side effects in III+. But if DX does no harm, let's go with it.
(See revised BIGDIR.PM, attached.)

> 1) why do you use BC WAIT

Pascal's wager. Can't hurt, might help. Probably does nothing.
Omitted in the attached revision.

Do you mean ME? That's the critical operation here. It MErges the
output of the DIR command (executed in DOS) into the now-empty
XyWrite directory window.

Try this version, please, and let me know what you find. Thanks for
your comments, Francisco.
