10000 fields and crash

[Brian Yennie]

FWIW, I don't think you would want to create a huge number of fields to 
accomodate a spreadsheet implementation: you're better off creating 
only as many as need to be visible and shuttling the data through them.

You do seem to have pointed out a serious inefficiency in MetaCard's 
save routine, however.
