In the command line, you use the switches "+io2ram" and "+io3ram" to enable RAM in the respective areas.

Be aware though, that only a minority of users will have that kind of RAM expansion available on real h/w, if you plan on using this for own projects. More likely you will annoy quite a lot of MegaCart, FE3 and IEEE cartridge users if your programs thrash that scarce resource which should, IMO, only be used by cartridge firmware.
