It's a virtual memory map file. Stylus Studio may create one or more of those files when you open a large XML document for editing.

I'm pretty sure I didn't open a 256MB file to read. How big a file do I have to open before this happens, and how big a .vmm file will be opened therefore?

.vmm files are allocated in "virtual" chunks of 256MB; keep in mind that the file doesn't "really" allocate 256MB of space on disk; it's a sparse file that *can* virtually grow up to 256MB, but the initial physical size is around 16MB; if you are curious about sparse files and Win32 support for them, take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364596.aspx.

Thanks for telling me it's a sparse file. The 256MB isn't so startling now!
