I believe you are correct, for the parameters pointed to by the
"Large" keyword.  However, if you take manual control of the
individual parameters, you should be able to tax whatever the limits of
your environment are (theoretically 2gb for OS/2).

I tried allowing 512k for some of my gated newsgroups for a while.  It
worked, but I didn't find the content of those messages particularly useful
(usually UUENCODEd trash unrelated to the group topic) and eventually went
back to letting LARGE filter the trash, instead.
