- As of the Apple Event Manager 1.0 (and 1.0.1), you can NOT send
- more than 64K worth of data in a single AERecord (which would include a
- DescList). Future versions of the AEM will support much olarger data
- passing, but in the meantime your best bet is to use either multiple events
- or create a PPC link (using AE's to setup the link).
