Also, it's not a "make one copy and never again" situation, since IIRC 
the
cmos ram stores *CONFIG settings.  So if you ever change those you need 
to
make a fresh copy of the cmos ram file.


Looking back at my old VRPC start-up files, I see that I used always to 
run
an Obey file which I'd created (with comments in it as required) and it
issued the whole current set of *CONFIG commands, to mimic what the 
output
from *STATUS would have been.  That probably reduced any grief I might 
have
had from loss of a cmos ram file, but it also meant I had a commented 
set
of notes containing the current settings.

There is no substitute for notes telling you why some setting is what it 
is.
