(Basic Windows): Don't describe cursor-in-non-selected-windows here.

multiple nonoverlapping Emacs windows.

  In each frame, at any time, one and only one window is designated as
@dfn{selected within the frame}.  The frame's cursor appears in that
window, but the other windows have ``non-selected'' cursors, normally
less visible.  At any time, one frame is the selected frame; and the
window selected within that frame is @dfn{the selected window}.  The
selected window's buffer is usually the current buffer (except when
@code{set-buffer} has been used).  @xref{Current Buffer}.

@defvar cursor-in-non-selected-windows
If this variable is @code{nil}, Emacs displays only one cursor,
in the selected window.  Other windows have no cursor at all.
@end defvar

  For practical purposes, a window exists only while it is displayed in
a frame.  Once removed from the frame, the window is effectively deleted
and should not be used, @emph{even though there may still be references
to it} from other Lisp objects.  Restoring a saved window configuration
