Is the below better?

  "Scroll the window so that current line is at the middle of the window.
Successive invocations scroll the window in a cyclical order to put
the current line at certain places within the window, as determined by
`recenter-positions'.  By default, the second invocation puts the
current line at the top-most window line, the third invocation puts it
on the bottom-most window line, and then the order is reused.

With numeric prefix ARG, move current line ARG lines below the window top.
With plain `C-u', move current line to window center."
