I was deliberately a little vague on flushing vs. closing
because I got a very vague story from WP.  I asked what would
happen when memory was scarce and the answer I got was maybe
some of it could be returned...  It was not discussed in the
tone of voice that one would associate with a feature--even an
obscure one.

In any event, my memory loss is much greater (~140k) if I
~strain~ the program by writing a 100-word memo and then print
it.  And that really is too much.
