   Sometimes, Emacs does not keep documentation strings in memory.
 There are two such circumstances.  Firstly, to save memory, the
-documentation for preloaded functions and variables (including
-primitives) is kept in a file named @file{DOC}, in the directory
-specified by @code{doc-directory} (@pxref{Accessing Documentation}).
-Secondly, when a function or variable is loaded from a byte-compiled
