The manual is available online. Go on archive.org and search "tandy wp-2"
You can stick a regular 2032 in the coin cell holder. It's smaller but you can just fill the space with tape or folded paper to hold it from moving around. At the power-on / reset "file name:" prompt, just type "junk" or "test" etc. Then hold F2 and press "=" (files) You'll get a menu across the top. Right-arrow to highlight "RAM DISK" and press enter. On the bottom right it will say 0 characters free, or some other number like 129024. If it's 0, you don't have the ram chip installed. The ram chip is easy to get and easy to install.
