-This manual documents Eshell, a shell-like command interpretor
+Eshell is a shell-like command interpretor
implemented in Emacs Lisp. It invokes no external processes except for
those requested by the user. It is intended to be a functional
replacement for command shells such as @command{bash}, @command{zsh},
@command{rc}, or @command{4dos}; since Emacs itself is capable of
handling the sort of tasks accomplished by those tools.
@c This manual is updated to release 2.4 of Eshell.
