-@cindex fringes, and empty line indication
- Emacs can indicate empty lines at the end of the buffer with a small
-image in the left fringe of the window (@pxref{Fringes}). To enable
-this feature, set the buffer-local variable @code{indicate-empty-lines}
-to a non-@code{nil} value. The default value of this variable is
-controlled by the variable @code{default-indicate-empty-lines}; by
-setting that variable, you can enable or disable this feature for all
-new buffers. (This feature currently doesn't work on character
-terminals.)
+@cindex unused lines
+@cindex fringes, and unused line indication
+ Emacs can indicate unused lines at the end of the window with a
+small image in the left fringe (@pxref{Fringes}). The image appears
+for window lines that do not correspond to any buffer text. Blank
+lines at the end of the buffer then stand out because they do not have
+this image in the fringe.

+ To enable this feature, set the buffer-local variable
