Under nitros9, I think this might be possible.  The OS treats extended 
memory, as much as 2 megs, somewhat like a blank file system that it 
formats the assignment table at boot or reboot time.  I think one way 
around that might be to mark the individual 8k block somehow, as belonging 
to your program, and the program could then ask for that 8k block, or 
blocks, with a reasonable expectation of getting your data back.  If using 
myram to manage the extra memory as a virtual disk, then it should be 
possible to store on disk drive, a short data file that could be used to 
regenerate the directory antry AND the myram allocation map which should 
pretty much restore your access to your work,
