 (defun start-file-process (name buffer program &rest program-args)
   "Start a program in a subprocess.  Return the process object for it.
+
 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'.
+
+This handler ought to run PROGRAM, perhaps on the local host,
+perhaps on a remote host that corresponds to `default-directory'.
+In the latter case, the local part of `default-directory' becomes
+the working directory of the process.
 
 PROGRAM and PROGRAM-ARGS might be file names.  They are not
 objects of file handler invocation."
