-The @code{\addvspace} command normally adds a vertical space of height
- at domain.hid}.  However, if vertical space has already been added to the same
-point in the output by a previous @code{\addvspace} command, then this
-command will not add more space than is needed to make the natural
-length of the total vertical space equal to @var{length}.

+Use this command to adjust the vertical space above or below an
+environment that starts a new paragraph.  (For instance, a Theorem
+environment is defined to begin and end in @code{\addvspace@{..@}} so
+that two consecutive Theorem's are separated by one vertical space, not
+two.)
+
+The error @samp{Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item} means that
+you were not in vertical mode when you invoked this command; one way to
+change that is to precede this command with a @code{\par} command.
