The system I am working with is at 7.0 Express 1.  The most recent 
STORE manual, from March 2000, states that s-t-d automatically uses 
32K buffers, but then again it also says that s-t-d is still a cost 
added feature of TurboStore so that source, while authoritative, is 
not necessarily definitive.  It is possible that the buffer 
behaviour was altered in some release of 6.5 after the first.  I 
have no experience with s-t-d on systems prior to 7.0, if I could 
even recall things from that long ago.  I think that we went to 7.0 
in the summer of 2001.

Regards,
Jim
