+ By default, the shell commands constructed for @code{lgrep},
+@code{rgrep}, and @code{zgrep} are abbreviated for display by
+concealing the part that contains a long list of files and directories
+to ignore. You can reveal the concealed part by clicking on the

+interactively toggle viewing the concealed part by typing @kbd{M-x
+grep-find-toggle-abbreviation}. To disable this abbreviation of the
+shell commands, customize the option @code{grep-find-abbreviate} to a
+@code{nil} value.
