+  If you get the error message @samp{Virtual memory exceeded}, save
+your modified buffers with @kbd{C-x s}.  This method of saving them
+has the smallest need for additional memory.  Emacs keeps a reserve of
+memory which it makes available when this error happens; that should

+the mode line, indicating there is no more reserve.
 
-  Once you have saved your modified buffers, you can exit this Emacs job
-and start another, or you can use @kbd{M-x kill-some-buffers} to free
-space in the current Emacs job.  If you kill buffers containing a
-substantial amount of text, you can safely go on editing.  Emacs refills
-its memory reserve automatically when it sees sufficient free space
-available, in case you run out of memory another time.
+  Once you have saved your modified buffers, you can exit this Emacs
+session and start another, or you can use @kbd{M-x kill-some-buffers}
+to free space in the current Emacs job.  If this frees up sufficient
+space, Emacs will refill its memory reserve, and @samp{!MEM FULL!}
+will disappear from the mode line.  That means you can safely go on
+editing in the same Emacs session.
 
   Do not use @kbd{M-x buffer-menu} to save or kill buffers when you run
 out of memory, because the buffer menu needs a fair amount of memory
