You may have just omitted a step. The applications need to be in a "mirror"
directory tree on the SRAM card, specifically:

c:\geoworks\world\*.geo

You could also create a "folder" in the world directory:

c:\geoworks\world\games\*.geo

..and it would show up as a folder in your home screen. GEOS "merges" the
directory trees on all drives (A:\ ROM, B:\ RAM, C:\ PCMCIA) to appear as
one single tree through the Home Screen.

If an application has system files, you can move them to the SRAM card as
well in a dir called:

c:\geoworks\system\*.geo
