 @cindex @env{EMACS} environment variable
-  Unless the environment variable @env{EMACS} is already defined,
-Emacs defines it in the subshell, with value equal to Emacs's absolute
-file name.  A shell script
-can check this variable to determine whether it has been run from an
-Emacs subshell.
+  Emacs also sets the @env{EMACS} environment variable to @code{t} if
+it is not already defined.  @strong{Warning:} This environment
+variable is deprecated.  Programs that check this variable should be
+changed to check @env{INSIDE_EMACS} instead.
