When you want this to do in a script without a new program, then
I have a solution for you IF you work under KS 1.3:
Do a      info >ram:inf df1:
          search >ram:inf1 ram:inf "No disk present"
          if warn
              echo "There is a disk in df1:"
              ; or do something else here
              endif
          delete ram:inf ram:inf1

Under 2.0 I had problems with the flags not set by the search command,
but this may get fixed.
