How do you make the sram card the default data storage location?

I did find that hotsync would back up data on the sram card. Here is
what I did.

1. I had previously installed Pocket Quicken on the sram card. The
geos installer, when installing to the sram card, seems to create a
directory structure (on c:, the sram card) mirroring the built-in
ramdisk, b:.

2. In particular, it creates a geoworks\document directory (empty).
I made a new spreadsheet, which created a new file in
b:\geoworks\document.

3. Using omnicom, I copied this file to c:\geoworks\document and deleted
the b:\geoworks\document version.

4. The spreadsheet app now used the copy on c:, and further, hotsync
backed it up. I don't remember if I tried restoring it, and if so, if it
restored it to c:

Hotsync backed up both.
