+ @cindex display of buffer size
+ @findex size-indication-mode
+   The buffer percentage @var{pos} indicates the percentage of the
+ buffer above the top of the window.  You can additionally display the
+ size of the buffer by typing @kbd{M-x size-indication-mode} to turn on
+ Size Indication mode.  The size will be displayed immediately
+ following the buffer percentage like this:
+ 
+ @example
+ @var{POS} of @var{SIZE}
+ @end example
+ 
+ @noindent
+ Here @var{SIZE} is the human readable representation of the number of
+ characters in the buffer, which means that @samp{k} for 10^3, @samp{M}
+ for 10^6, @samp{G} for 10^9, etc., are used to abbreviate.
+ 
+ @cindex narrowing, and buffer size display
+   If you have narrowed the buffer (@pxref{Narrowing}), the size of the
