Now that seems like bad advice in daemon mode.  Even bash is unlikely
to do the right thing here. :-)  How about

C-h C-a in an Emacs frame gives information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system.

or of course,

For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a in an
Emacs frame.

but that takes up two lines instead of one.
