 Similar to `start-process', but may invoke a file handler based on
-`default-directory'.  The current working directory of the
-subprocess is `default-directory'.
+`default-directory'.  See Info node `(elisp)Magic File Names'.

+perhaps on a remote host that corresponds to `default-directory'.

+the working directory of the process.
 
 PROGRAM and PROGRAM-ARGS might be file names.  They are not
 objects of file handler invocation."
