Curious as they managed to make Paint and Draw handle larger files
some years ago.

This is done by using a dynamic area. Why Edit hasn't been changed to
do this too is anybody's guess; quite possibly because everybody hates
Edit anyway, and its only useful purpose is for editing files to try to
fix your boot structyre.

I have also found recently that ArtWorks under RISCOS Ltd will not
handle more than 28 Mbytes, which is a pain for my VRPC. Or is there
a way of making it use DA?

You'd have to ask Martin. With lazy task swapping (ie, RISC OS 4
onwards, as long as you have a StrongARM S or later) there's no
noticeable performance or memory penalty for using the slot in favour of
a DA; in fact there are many advantages.
