Fixes and updates for Frames chapter in Emacs manual.

* doc/emacs/files.texi (Visiting): `C-x 5 f' works on ttys too.

* doc/emacs/frames.texi (Frames): Rewrite introduction.
(Mouse Commands): Default for mouse-drag-copy-region is now t.
The mouse-save-then-kill-command does not copy to kill ring by
default.  Behavior of DEL is not special to mouse commands now.
(Mouse References): Document mouse-1-click-follows-link more
thoroughly.
(Menu Mouse Clicks): Move footnote to the main text and add xref
to Init Rebinding node.
(Mode Line Mouse): Mouse-3 on the mode-line does not bury buffer.

* lisp/window.el (display-buffer--special-action): Minor doc fix.

 @chapter Frames and Graphical Displays
 @cindex frames
 
-  When using a graphical display, you can create multiple system-level
-``windows'' in a single Emacs session.  We refer to these system-level
-windows as @dfn{frames}.  A frame initially contains a single Emacs
-window; however, you can subdivide this Emacs window into smaller
-windows, all fitting into the same frame.  Each frame normally
-contains its own echo area and minibuffer.
-
-  To avoid confusion, we reserve the word ``window'' for the
-subdivisions that Emacs implements, and never use it to refer to a
-frame.
-
-  Any editing you do in one frame affects the other frames.  For
-instance, if you put text in the kill ring in one frame, you can yank
-it in another frame.  If you exit Emacs through @kbd{C-x C-c} in one
-frame, it terminates all the frames.  To delete just one frame, use
+  When Emacs is started on a graphical display, e.g. on the X Window
+System, it occupies a graphical system-level ``window''.  In this
+manual, we call this a @dfn{frame}; we reserve the word ``window'' for
+the part of the frame used for displaying a buffer.  A frame initially
+contains one window, but it can be subdivided into multiple windows
+(@pxref{Windows}).  A frame normally also contains a menu bar, tool
+bar, and echo area.
+
+  You can also create additional frames (@pxref{Creating Frames}).
+All frames created in the same Emacs session have access to the same
+underlying buffers and other data.  For instance, if a buffer is being
+shown in more than one frame, any changes made to it in one frame show
+up immediately in the other frames too.
+
+  Typing @kbd{C-x C-c} closes all the frames on the current display,
+and ends the Emacs session if it has no frames open on any other
+displays (@pxref{Exiting}).  To close just the selected frame, type
 @kbd{C-x 5 0} (that is zero, not @kbd{o}).

+  This chapter describes Emacs features specific to graphical displays
+(particularly mouse commands), and features for managing multiple
+frames.  On text-only terminals, many of these features are
+unavailable.  However, it is still possible to create multiple
+``frames'' on text-only terminals; such frames are displayed one at a
+time, filling the entire terminal screen (@pxref{Non-Window

+@code{mouse-highlight} to @code{nil}, Emacs disables this
+highlighting.
 
   You can activate a button by moving point to it and typing
 @key{RET}, or by clicking either @kbd{Mouse-1} or @kbd{Mouse-2} on the
-button.  For example, typing @key{RET} or clicking on a file name in a
-Dired buffer visits that file (@pxref{Dired}).  Doing it on an error
-message in the @samp{*Compilation*} buffer goes to the source code for
-that error message (@pxref{Compilation}).  Doing it on a completion in
-the @samp{*Completions*} buffer chooses that completion
-(@pxref{Completion}).
-
-  Although clicking @kbd{Mouse-1} on a button usually activates that
-button, if you hold the mouse button down for a short period of time
-before releasing it (specifically, for more than 450 milliseconds),
-then Emacs moves point where you clicked instead.  This behavior

+In this way, you can use the mouse to move point over a button without
+activating it.  Dragging the mouse over or onto a button has its usual
+behavior of setting the region, and does not activate the button.
+
+  You can change how @kbd{Mouse-1} applies to buttons by customizing
+the variable @code{mouse-1-click-follows-link}.  If the value is a
+positive integer, that determines how long you need to hold the mouse
+button down for, in milliseconds, to cancel button activation; the
+default is 450, as described in the previous paragraph.  If the value
+is @code{nil}, @kbd{Mouse-1} just sets point where you clicked, and
+does not activate buttons.  If the value is @code{double}, double
+clicks activate buttons but single clicks just set point.
