I have a couple of problems that surely others must have solved and so I 
seek help from those with more experience than myself...

	1. Reset proof ramdisks are nice, but sometimes I would
           like them to go away without having to power down.  I
           want to be able to boot from one disk and have a reset-proof
           ramdisk and then boot from another disk and have it be gone.
           Completely gone.  Without having to sit at the terminal holding 
           down some weird combination of keys.  I have tried several 
           ramdisks, some which claim to have this ability by using a 
           ramdisk.dat file (contining Q) but they have never worked for me.

	2. Gulam is wonderful, but...  In the version I am using
           1.00.00.02 110287, 
                            cat file.a file.b > file.c 
           doesn't work.  I have tried version 1.03.04.05, and the cat 
           bug has been fixed, but now I can't get the delete key to 
           work as it should.  Using:
                             kb -r 07f 1d
                             kb -g 07f 1d
                             kb -m 07f 1d
           works fine in the older version but not in the newer.

Can anyone offer solutions to these problems?  (Yet another ramdisk,
or perhaps the latest version of Gulam?)

Thanks.
