+When Ediff starts up, it displays a small control window, which accepts the
+Ediff commands and two or three windows displaying the files to be compared
+or merged. The control window can be in its own small frame or it can be
+part of a bigger frame that displays other buffers. In any case, it is
+important that the control window be active (i.e., be the one receiving the
+keystrokes) when you use Ediff. You can switch to other Emacs buffers at
+will and even edit the files currently being compared with Ediff and then
+switch back to Ediff at any time by activating the appropriate Emacs windows.

 be run either from the minibuffer or from the menu bar.  In the menu bar,
