On a graphical display, such as on GNU/Linux using the X Window
-System, Emacs occupies a ``graphical window''. On a text terminal,
+System, Emacs occupies a graphical window. On a text terminal,
Emacs occupies the entire terminal screen. We will use the term
@dfn{frame} to mean a graphical window or terminal screen occupied by
Emacs. Emacs behaves very similarly on both kinds of frames. It
above the echo area, is called @dfn{the window}. Henceforth in this
manual, we will use the word ``window'' in this sense. Graphical
display systems commonly use the word ``window'' with a different
-meaning; but, as stated above, we refer to those ``graphical windows''

An Emacs window is where the @dfn{buffer}---the text you are
you what the command has done, or to provide you with some specific
information. These @dfn{informative} messages, unlike error messages,
are not accompanied with a beep or flash. For example, @kbd{C-x =}
-(hold down @key{CTRL} and type @kbd{x}, then let go of @key{CTRL} and
+(hold down @key{Ctrl} and type @kbd{x}, then let go of @key{Ctrl} and
type @kbd{=}) displays a message describing the character at point,
its position in the buffer, and its current column in the window.

convention for encoding a file. Usually, lines of text are separated
by @dfn{newline characters} in a file, but two other conventions are

The next element on the mode line is the string indicated by
