-@defun delete object list
-This function destructively removes all elements @code{equal} to
-@var{object} from @var{list}.  It is to @code{delq} as @code{member} is

+If @code{sequence} is a list, this function destructively removes all
+elements @code{equal} to @var{object} from @var{sequence}.  For lists,
+@code{delete} is to @code{delq} as @code{member} is to @code{memq}: it
+uses @code{equal} to compare elements with @var{object}, like
+@code{member}; when it finds an element that matches, it removes the

+If @code{sequence} is a vector or string, @code{delete} returns a copy
