Well, in upgrading my Ami 1000 with some additional memory, and since
I rarely turn it off, I thought that I would set up a RAM: device from
startup and reduce my disk flipping by a great deal.  I quickly pulled
out _The AmigaDOS Manual, 2nd Edition_ from Commodore-Amiga, Inc. and
looked up the RAM: device in the index.  It said to look on page(s)
11-12.

I flipped to page 11, scanned down to section 1.3.6 Undestanding
Device Names and came across this statement....

"To create RAM: device each time you boot, edit your startup file to
include the line."

I have not mistyped this.  The next line goes on to describe what you
can do once your RAM: device exists.  Previous lines talk about the
need for the l/ram-handler to be on disk and write blocks, etc.

I cannot find any other reference in the manual as to what the "line"
I am supposed to include is.

Could someone please e-mail (or post if anyone here is as behind as I
am on these things) the install for the startup file?

Also, I noticed that C-A was collecting information on documentation
errors.  Might this fall into the area of "sins of ommission"?
