Subject: tooltip-mode docstring
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2006 21:21:40 -0600 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200601100321.k0A3Lew19957@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)

The docstring of tooltip-mode does not seem very helpful.  It
misleadingly suggests that if you disable it, you do not get to see
any help-text on mouse-over, whereas tooltip-mode only determines
_where_ you see that thext rather than _whether_ you see it.

Unless there are objections, I plan to install the following doc fix:
