   Each text window's last line is a @dfn{mode line}, which describes
 what is going on in that window.  When there is only one text window,
 the mode line appears right above the echo area; it is the
-next-to-last line on the frame.  The mode line starts and ends with

 3D box appearence to help it stand out.
