There hasn't been a 32K limit in the Apple events for YEARS.  Chuck 
put the limit into WebStar partly because the older System versions 
which did have the limit were unfortunately still important at the 
time, and partly for other reasons related to implementation.

WebStar provides a protocol for sending a large response (or one you 
want the user to see incrementally for some reason) in a series of 
events.  It's been years since I played with it...it worked fine for 
me from Frontier when I did exercise it.
