	In my version of ProSel (which is, granted, quite old) there is a program
called AUTOCOPY.  Within this program are all of the commands needed in
order to copy everything to the ram card and then to run a program
(usually ProSel itself).  You should be able to use this program to load
everything from Proterm into the /ram card and then to start up the
program.  If I remember correctly; look for where it has PROSEL.SYSTEM
within AUTOCOPY and change that name to PROTERM.SYSTEM (or whatever it
is called).  Place everything you want to go into the ram card into
a directory called /RAM on your floppy/hard drive.  Then, every time you
boot those files will be placed into your ram card's memory (ie:Proterm).
This is how I have been doing it for years (ever since I discovered
ProSel).  Granted my version of ProSel is old, but I doubt if Glenn
would have gotten rid of so great a program as this. :)
