If you open several reading windows, or open a newsgroup or topic with many articles, InterNews may complain of having insufficient memory. You may see an alert that says “Memory space is low. Some commands may be disabled.” or another that says that something could not happen because “there is not enough memory.” Mouse clicks in various places may not produce any results and some menu items may be gray.
You can alleviate the immediate problem by closing some windows and/or opening a smaller topic or newsgroup. A longer term solution is to give InterNews a larger memory partition in the Finder. To do this:
• Quit InterNews.
• In the Finder, select the InterNews icon in it’s folder window.
• Choose Get Info... in the File menu to open the application Info window.
• Select the input box closest to the bottom of the window. This may be labeled “preferred size” or something similar, depending on the version of the System you are running.
• Type 1000 to give InterNews a full megabyte of memory. This is enough for most cases. You can give it more if you like.
• Close the Info window. InterNews will have more memory from then on.
