The 'browse' stage does keep the viewed portion of the data in memory
to allow you to page back again. Not really a concern with 5000
records of 13 bytes though.

But as I read his note, the discussion about XEDIT was not to view the
records but because he wanted to use that to shorten the records.
While using XEDIT for that is not safe with non-text data (since it
will play games with trailing blanks) I fail to see why one could not
edit a file of 700 KB in even a 10 MB virtual machine.
