Hi folks:
How do I instruct PRODOS to set up a /ram disk in the aux memory of
a IIe with 128K?  Or can I?

Thanks in advance

All you should have to do is use the thing and it will set up automatically.
Some programs, though, such as Copy II Plus, won't do this.  To force a /RAM
setup:

1) Enter BASIC.SYSTEM.
2) Enter:
   CREATE /RAM/JUNK
3) Quit BASIC.SYSTEM.

Once you're back in your program, you can delete /RAM/JUNK if you want.  Of
course, this won't work with AppleWorks or any other program that uses the
full 128K you have.
