You cannot addany more to this document. Things that use up memoryquickly are: lots of heavy lines, curves, or text; heavy use ofthe copy and transform commands; or lots of deletions andediting.Action: Usually you can save your document with the LOOK Wcommand. Try that first. A second measure you can take is todelete some of the lines from the drawing to give you a littleroom in the buffer. If you can't get any response, you mustQUIT from DRAW (the document will be lost, unfortunately).When you re-enter DRAW to work on that document, you mightwant to set aside more memory by changing the default valuesof text or spline. See the section on "Changing DefaultValues." Very occasionally, the system won't respond toanything, so restart by pushing the restart button.b.[Compute Regular Spline] Sorry, not enough storage: the command hasbeen abortedInterpretation: Same as above, but the system is telling youthat it's been logjammed by lines or curves (not text).
