"Make an X Windows selection of type TYPE and value DATA.
-TYPE is a symbol specifying the selection type. This is normally
-one of `PRIMARY', `SECONDARY', or `CLIPBOARD'; or nil, which is
-equivalent to `PRIMARY'. (It can also be a string, which stands
-for the symbol with that name, but this usage is obsolete.)
-
-DATA is a selection value. It should be one of the following:
- - A vector of non-vector selection values.
- - A string.
- - An integer.
- - A cons cell of two markers pointing to the same buffer
- (the data consists of the text between the markers).
- - An overlay (the data consists of the text within the overlay).
- - A buffer (the data consists of the text in the region).
-For the last three cases, the actual selection data is computed
-only when the selection is requested. Thus, it includes any
-changes made to the buffer after `x-set-selection' is called.
+The argument TYPE (nil means `PRIMARY') says which selection, and
+DATA specifies the contents. TYPE must be a symbol. \(It can also
+be a string, which stands for the symbol with that name, but this
+is considered obsolete.) DATA may be a string, a symbol, an
+integer (or a cons of two integers or list of two integers).
+
+The selection may also be a cons of two markers pointing to the same buffer,
+or an overlay. In these cases, the selection is considered to be the text
+between the markers *at whatever time the selection is examined*.
+Thus, editing done in the buffer after you specify the selection
+can alter the effective value of the selection.
+
+The data may also be a vector of valid non-vector selection values.
The return value is DATA.
Interactively, this command sets the primary selection. Without
prefix argument, it reads the selection in the minibuffer. With
-prefix argument, it uses the text of the region as the selection value ."
