 it kills the Emacs.)
 
-C-z is the command to exit Emacs *temporarily*--so that you can go
-back to the same Emacs session afterward.
+If you are using a graphical display that supports multiple
+applications in parallel, you don't need any special command to move
+from Emacs to another application.  You can do this with the mouse or
+with window manager commands.  However, if you're using a text
+terminal which can only show one application at a time, you need to
+"suspend" Emacs to move to any other program.
 
-On systems which allow it, C-z "suspends" Emacs; that is, it returns
-to the shell but does not destroy the Emacs.  In the most common
-shells, you can resume Emacs with the `fg' command or with `%emacs'.

-On systems which do not implement suspending, C-z creates a subshell
-running under Emacs to give you the chance to run other programs and
-return to Emacs afterward; it does not truly "exit" from Emacs.  In
-this case, the shell command `exit' is the usual way to get back to
-Emacs from the subshell.

 The time to use C-x C-c is when you are about to log out.  It's also
 the right thing to use to exit an Emacs invoked under mail handling
