               Most of you have probably seen the new RAMdisk available  on
     net.sources.mac  called RAMstart.  It doesn't look like anything radi-
     cally new over Assimilation  (auto  load  what's  in  folder,  doesn't
     Eject...) but it has a very nice surprise.  Slim Mac owners now have a
     RAMdisk!!!!  I was shocked to pieces when I ran it and it  worked!  It
     allows  a RAMdisk from 6K up to 26K.  Although this isn't large enough
     to hold something really useful like a system or finder, it does  have
     uses.   For  example: put the MacTerminal document you use (don't save
     anything much/important on it) in there and no more disk whirring!


               Another patch I've seen hinted at but never  explained  here
     on  the  net is how to put your own default settings into MacTerminal.
     If you have a MacTerm document that has the settings the way you  like
     them, use ResEdit to go into it and Copy the INIT resource.  Then open
     MacTerminal and Paste it into there.  When you boot MacTerm without  a
     document now it will come up as Untitled, however the settings will be

     Happy maccing!                          Chris Borton
