 ;; This package provides the M-x vlf command, which visits part of a
 ;; large file in a read-only buffer without visiting the entire file.
-;; The buffer uses VLF mode, which defines the commands M-<next>
-;; (vlf-next-batch) and M-<prior> (vlf-prev-batch) to visit other
-;; parts of the file.  The option `vlf-batch-size' specifies the size
-;; of each batch, in bytes.
+;; The buffer uses VLF mode, which defines several commands for
+;; moving around, searching and editing selected chunk of file.
 
 ;; This package was inspired by a snippet posted by Kevin Rodgers,
 ;; showing how to use `insert-file-contents' to extract part of a
