 =======================================
 
 GNU Emacs 23 supports running as a daemon in the background, to which
-a user can connect through the emacsclient program.  No matter if from
-a terminal session (emacsclient -t) or from a X window (emacsclient
--c), so this gives maximum flexibility in connection with the
-multi-tty extension also added to Emacs 23.
+a user can connect through the emacsclient program.  This can be done
+either in the current terminal (emacsclient -t), or by opening a new X
+window (emacsclient -c), giving maximum flexibility in connection with
+the multi-tty extension also available in Emacs 23.
 
 Every user who wants to connect to an Emacs server must have an own
 instance of the daemonized GNU Emacs.  The init script automatically
 determines the user by its name, so you create a symbolic link (do
 not copy the script!) in your /etc/init.d directory:
 
-	ln -s emacs emacs.<username>
+	ln -s emacs /etc/init.d/emacs.<username>
 
-Which should then be added to the boot sequence (and will run under
-the user's privileges)
+This may be added to the boot sequence (and will run under the user's
+privileges)
 
 	rc-update add emacs.<username>
 
-File associations in your desktop system should call $(emacsclient
--c), to get the greatest benefits of the daemon setup.  When closing a
-session or frame, no contents is lost, just reconnect to your server.
+To get all benefits of the daemon setup, you should set the EDITOR
+environment variable to "emacsclient", so that programs calling an
+external editor will use the existing Emacs process.  Also file
+associations in your desktop system should call emacsclient.  When
+closing a session or frame, no contents is lost; you may simply
+reconnect to the Emacs server.
 
 Further customizations can be done through the /etc/conf.d/emacs file,
 which is extensively commented.  Global or per user configuration is
 possible, by naming the configuration file.
