-@defun make-sparse-keymap &optional prompt
-This function creates and returns a new sparse keymap with no entries.
-The new keymap does not contain a char-table, unlike @code{make-keymap},
-and does not bind any events. The argument @var{prompt} specifies a
-prompt string, as in @code{make-keymap}.
+@defun make-keymap &optional prompt
+This function creates and returns a new full keymap. That keymap
+contains a char-table (@pxref{Char-Tables}) with slots for all
+characters without modifiers. The new keymap initially binds all
+these characters to @code{nil}, and does not bind any other kind of
+event. The argument @var{prompt} specifies a
+prompt string, as in @code{make-sparse-keymap}.
