I've done this very thing. But back in the days when I only had a 256k
organizer, I got halfway through the KLI list when I ran out of memory.
I decided to start deleting the source field of my entries until I had
enough room for every word. I got all the way to the D's. Now that I
have the bigger 1M organizer, I have tons of room for notes... I still
haven't gotten around to putting back all of the sources. Some day... ;)
