+  The @kbd{C-x 5 0} (@code{delete-frame}) command never deletes the
+last frame.  This prevents you from losing the ability to interact
 with the Emacs process.  Note that when Emacs is run as a daemon
 (@pxref{Emacs Server}), there is always a ``virtual frame'' that
 remains after all the ordinary, interactive frames are deleted.  In
 this case, @kbd{C-x 5 0} can delete the last interactive frame; you
 can use @command{emacsclient} to reconnect to the Emacs session.
 
+  The @kbd{C-x 5 1} (@code{delete-other-frames}) command only deletes
+frames on the current terminal.  For example, if you call it from an X
+frame, it deletes the other frames on that X display; if the Emacs
+process has frames open on other X displays or text terminals, those
+are not deleted.
