+ While using the minibuffer, you can switch to a different frame,
+perhaps to note text you need to enter (@pxref{Frame Commands}). By
+default, the active minibuffer moves to this new frame. If you set
+the user option @code{minibuffer-follows-selected-frame} to
+@code{nil}, then the minibuffer stays in the frame where you opened
+it, and you must switch back to that frame in order to complete (or
+abort) the current command. Note that the effect of the command, when
+you finally finish using the minibuffer, always takes place in the
+frame where you first opened it.
