 @cindex frame visibility
 
 A window frame may be @dfn{visible}, @dfn{invisible}, or
-@dfn{iconified}.  If it is visible, you can see its contents.  If it is
-iconified, the frame's contents do not appear on the screen, but an icon
-does.  If the frame is invisible, it doesn't show on the screen, not
-even as an icon.

 Visibility is meaningless for terminal frames, since only the selected
 one is actually displayed in any case.
