Well the textbox itself isn't limited to 64Kb, VB itself limits it that way....using the API the text box can be quickly changed to really unlimited ;-).
Like marcade, I recommend not using the RTB, you can try if you want to, but my own personal experience proved to be quite a contract to do and the RTB is bloated and slow at best for this kind of formatting.
CodeMax is the fastest control I've ever seen for this kind of job...and shouldn't be overlooked because it's a user control.
On the other hand, I agree to at least try to use VB only intrisic controls. But there will be consequences and repercussions if you try to use the RTB. :-). A friendly advice from one who's been there done that and decided to use CodeMax instead ;-).
