+The `lisp.virtualmem` file is a capture of the "current" state of the system (i.e., it is a copy of the virtual memory at a point in time). `lisp.virtualmem` is written whenever you execute `(IL:LOGOUT)` and also whenever executing `(IL:SAVEVM)`. You can restart Medley using a `lisp.virtualmem` and it will pick up essentially where it left off before the `LOGOUT` or `SAVEVM` (with the exception that the user can set `BEFORE`/`AFTER` and `LOGOUT`/`SAVEVM` code that runs before you get control of the restarted `lisp.virtualmem`).
+
+A `.sysout` is a virtual memory image produced by `MAKESYS` (for writing an image for distribution) and `SYSOUT` (for saving a named checkpoint, e.g. to revert to a previous state if needed), which differ only in the way they process the startup options. You can (and most frequently do) start Medley from a sysout file. When Medley first starts from a sysout, it automatically runs initialization scripts — a site initialization script followed by a per-user initialization script (if available).


How do the sysouts produced by MAKESYS and SYSOUT differ in the way the process the startup options?

MAN MAKESYS vs MAN SYSOUT tells the original story.
In Medley, we've tried to keep the sense of the difference between MAKESYS, SYSOUT, and SAVEVM with respect to handling of open files, user GREETing.

does this need more explanation? or rewrite to not use the function names such as MAKESYS and explain the concept ?

To me the explanation is clear as is. It's useful to keep the function names so that interested users can look them up.

... earlier versions of Interlisp-D...

From a user's perspective how is this any different than running Medley on our servers? Beyond, they may have access to earlier versions of Interlisp-D.

I clarified a sentence @stumbo commented on as I originally wrote that text. Other than that the changes look good to me.

A couple more cleanup requests.
