Fallout from bug #7563. processes.texi (Shell Arguments): strings.texi (Creating Strings): Don't mention "shell commands"; make it explicit that `split-string-and-unquote' and `combine-and-quote-strings' are mainly for working with arguments to call-process and start-process.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
