However, @code{x-dnd-types-alist} does not handle a special kind of
drop sent by a program that wants Emacs to tell it where to save a
file in a specific location determined by the user. These drops are
-instead handled by a function that is the value of the variable
-@code{x-dnd-direct-save-function}. This function should accept two arguments.
-If the first argument is non-@code{nil}, then the second argument is a
-file name to save (with leading directories) that the other
-program recommends, and the
-function should return the full file name under which it should be
-saved. After the function completes, Emacs will ask the other program
-to save the file under the name that was returned, and if the file was
-successfully saved, call the function again with the first argument
-set to a non-@code{nil} value and the second argument set to the file
-name that was returned. The function should then perform whatever
-action is appropriate (i.e., opening the file or refreshing a
-directory listing.)
+instead handled by a function determined by the variable
+@code{x-dnd-direct-save-function}. This function is essentially two
+functions in one---its first argument is a boolean which tells it what
+operations to perform.
+
+ When the drop takes place, the function is first called with its
+first argument set to a non-@code{nil} value, and its second argument
+set to a file name that the file should be saved under; this file name
+does not contain the directory under which the file should be saved.
+
+ The function should return the complete file name under which the
+file should be saved, including the directory where it should be
+saved, under which Emacs will ask the other program to save the file.
+
+ If the file was successfully saved, the function is called again,
+this time with the first argument set to @code{nil}, and the second
+argument set to the file name that was returned. The function should
+then perform whatever action is appropriate (i.e., opening the file or
