Yeh, I looked in the manual and came up with a "/d-[drive/path]" switch.
It works great!  Thanks.  Anybody with extended memory and 
edit large WP51 documents should try this.  Use the VDISK.SYS to set
up a ramdisk using extended memory (at least 1meg recommanded), then
enter WP51 by typing 
     C:\WP51> WP /d-G:\ 
where G: drive is the ramdisk.
