Forgive me if this has been covered before (I didn't see any reference
to it in the last 350 articles)

Under system 6.0.x you could increase the ram allocated to the finder
via the get info box...this would let you copy one floppy to another
(using only one floppy drive) with only a couple of disk swaps.
How is this done on System 7 ?
I am tired of the message please insert disk xx even though I have
4MB of ram installed. Shouldn't the finder automatically access more
memory to accomplish the disk copy with a minimum of disk swaps?
