;;; Commentary:
-;; This program was inspired by the behavior of the Lisp Machine "mouse
-;; documentation window"; as you type a function's symbol name as part of a
-;; sexp, it will print the argument list for that function. However, this
-;; program's behavior is different in a couple of significant ways. For
-;; one, you need not actually type the function name; you need only move
-;; point around in a sexp that calls it. However, if point is over a
-;; documented variable, it will print the one-line documentation for that
-;; variable instead, to remind you of that variable's purpose.
+;; This program was inspired by the behavior of the "mouse documentation
+;; window" on many Lisp Machine systems; as you type a function's symbol
+;; name as part of a sexp, it will print the argument list for that
+;; function. Behavior is not identical; for example, you need not actually
+;; type the function name, you need only move point around in a sexp that
+;; calls it. Also, if point is over a documented variable, it will print
+;; the one-line documentation for that variable instead, to remind you of
+;; that variable's meaning.
;; One useful way to enable this minor mode is to put the following in your
;; .emacs:
