I was just trying to sort a file consisting of 1057 one-line entries, and 
get the following message:

    Record exceeds the 32K sort limit.   Select a smaller portion to sort.

I am trying to sort this on the "First word in a paragraph."   This is
the 
first time I've ever run into this limit.   Is there a way around this? 
Sorting a series of subsets will not really do, since the entire file is an 
index to something.     How do I know how much I can select before I hit the 
ceiling?
