Change the line:

to
DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.sys 16384 /E
or make the # higher, but you don't want to make it more than 1/2
your actual RAM. It also must be a multiple of 1024, don't ask why
but it seems to cause problems if done otherwise.

[Wow, thanks Don. I always thought that was a fixed allocation, not a
floating buffer I could change. I'm going to try this, although I don't
have much RAM on my machine computer (16mb). This list is great!]

5MEG in size in "look-ahead" mode. What you need to do is increase the
size of your ram drive in your config.sys file.
Change the line:
