There is another approach to problems you describe. The limit of
_individual_ JavaScripts is indeed 32kByte. Yeah, I have run into
that a lot of times... BTW, note that attachments are not processed
in the forums's mailing list gateway (which is good). You might make
it available for download and send the links to the forum.

But what you can do, for example, is creating a multidimensional case
array. Every element of this array is an array of a given structure
with the relevant information for the cases. Each of these cases can
be stored in its own document level script, and your calling routine
can be set up that it takes care of an undefined number of selections.

The size of arrays is not limited by the 32 kByte, but essentially
only by the available amount of memory for the Viewer application.

Hope, this can help.
