"Run the locate program, putting results in `*Locate*' buffer. > With prefix arg, prompt for the locate command to run." This change is for the worse, IMHO. The original doc string makes it clear that `locate' is a program, whereas the new strings could be misunderstood to talk about some mysterious ``locate program'' (as in ``relocation program''). There are more instances of using ``the locate program'' in your changes; I think they all need to be modified in the same way to make sure the meaning is clear.
