Does anyone know if there is a way to configure and deconfigure the GS
RAM5 disk from a running program?  There are some applications (notably
Paintworks Gold) that won't run when the RAM disk has been configured in
by allocating it memory.  (the manual says it won't run period, not a
question of having left enough memory for the application it would
seem.)  Instead of having to go into the control panel, turn the machine
off, and re-boot just to deinstall the RAMdisk (and the converse when
done) it would be much nicer if I could start up a short program to do
it.

(Its possible thas has come up before, but I didn't notice it; I don't
have a Toolbox manual(s) and any code would have to be written from the
mini-assembler or basic.)
