Tim,

It sounds as if you have not put a directory on your Lispfiles volume.  In the
case where no directory is defined, Lisp emulates the rigid disk with a core
device called {PSEUDO-DSK}.   Since the core device is contained in virtual
memory, it lasts only as long as you keep your virtual memory image. (When you
have VMEM.PURE.STATE turned on you do not save your virtual memory over logout,
so any files copied to DSK will disappear.)

Create the directory with (CREATEDSKDIRECTORY volumename).   You can check for a
directory with (LISPDIRECTORYP volumename.)  See the "File System" section of
the appropriate Users Guide for more details.
