I'd like to use the MDISK provided in the Programmer's Utility
Package, but all I can get is about a 60-Kbyte ram disk.  Reading
the code shows I should be able to use a parameter at installation
time, but I've tried:

device=MDISK.DVD
device=MDISK.DVD  SIZE=362
device=MDISK.DVD /SIZE=362
device=MDISK.DVD -SIZE=362

in my CONFIG.SYS file, and they all give me the same result.

Just what SHOULD I do?  (Please respond by email--if there is
any interest expressed from others, I'll summarize to the net).
