Touche -  I didn't have the answer when the question was asked, but did get
curious enough to find out.  Soooooo...

I normally boot to the finder and do NOT set MultiFinder to be the StartUp
application...  after reboot, I used MacRam Version 2.5 (which I got with the
MacMemory upgrade some years back) and created a 500k RamDisk before using
OPTION-COMMAND-double-click on MultiFinder .....

I did not try to create a RamDisk *AFTER* I'm already in MultiFinder.  But
I believe that would not work anyway ...

BTW - I do not care iparticular for Richard's message.  heck, at least,
he could have tried some RamDisks himself rather than just flaming ....(-:
