-----End of Data

Go here to see it better:
http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/large_wall.jpg
The point is there are legitimate uses of large strings of data, even
if you can't see them. In this case the jpg's data is converted to
something more "readable" by us.
In the case of the original poster, it sounds like he is using a
browser and the Web to show and to transfer data. Showing it can be
done by breaking it into smaller strings as several in this group have
suggested.
Using it is a different story.
Best regards,
