 Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.\n\
 The display table is a vector created with `make-display-table'.\n\
 The first 256 elements control how to display each possible text character.\n\
-The value should be a \"rope\" (see `make-rope') or nil;\n\
+Each value should be a vector of characters or nil;\n\
 nil means display the character in the default fashion.\n\
-The remaining five elements are ropes that control the display of\n\
-  the end of a truncated screen line (element 256);\n\
-  the end of a continued line (element 257);\n\
-  the escape character used to display character codes in octal (element 258);\n\
-  the character used as an arrow for control characters (element 259);\n\
-  the decoration indicating the presence of invisible lines (element 260).\n\

 If this variable is nil, the value of `standard-display-table' is used.\n\
 Each window can have its own, overriding display table.");
