+;; other-frame-window provides prefix key sequences to control where a
+;; new buffer is created by a subsequent command. With no prefix, the
+;; buffer is created where the command decides (nominally the currently
+;; selected window). Prefix C-x 7 causes the buffer to appear in
+;; another window in the same frame; a window is created if necessary.
+;; Prefix C-x 9 causes the buffer to appear in another frame; a frame
 ;; is created if necessary.
 ;;
-;; C-x 9 <command> causes a buffer displayed by <command>
-;; to appear in another frame; a frame is created if necessary.
+;; Some commands display new buffers in other than the currently
+;; selected window, which defeats the purpose of ‘other-frame-window’ in
+;; the absense of a prefix. To override that, customize
+;; ‘display-buffer-alist’ for those commands. For example, to override
+;; ‘gud-gdb’:
+;;
+;; (add-to-list
+;;  'display-buffer-alist
+;;  (cons "\\*gud"
+;;      (cons 'display-buffer-same-window nil)))
+;; )
+;;
+;; Other key bindings provided by other-frame-window:
 ;;
 ;; C-x W moves the current buffer to another window in the same frame.
 ;;
 ;; C-x F moves the current buffer to another frame.
 ;;
+;;
 ;; In addition, C-x 7 and C-x 9 can be followed by these keys:
 ;;
 ;; 0 - deletes the current window.
