A RAM disk is one that exists solely in random-access memory; it's used to keep
stuff that wants to be accessed quickly and is either temporary, copied from a
permanent source, or copied back to a more permanent medium (because its
contents are forgotten as soon as you power down the system!).

My system has a 96K RAM disk; the device is named r0.  I can type "dir /r0"
just as I can type "dir /h0", and the analogous thing will happen.  I can type
"mdir >/r0/mdir.out" and the output of "mdir" will go to a file on the RAM
disk, named "mdir.out".  See what I mean?
