LOADRESOURCE reduces the need for excessive disk swaps on floppy-only systems by preloading the following types of resourses into memory for faster access:

Libraries  Specify the path name to library.
Devices    Specify the path name to the device; you cannot lock device into memory
Fonts      Specify the path name to the exact font file to be loaded.
catalogs   Specify a path name as:
           LOCALE:catalogs/(language)/Sys/(catalog).

The {name} option specifies the paths of the resources to load. The LOCK option tells the command to lock resourses, such as libs, fonts, and catalogs, into memory. This prevents the system from flushing them if the memory gets low.

Entering LOADRESOURCES with no options lists all the LOCKed resourses in RAM.
