I now say "Type q in other window to quit".

This happens to be correct in the case at hand but is not necessarily
correct when another buffer was displayed in that window before.

Thanks, martin

emacs -Q
 
M-x apropos-variable RET frame-alist RET
 
Click one of the variable names. You see the help for that variable, and
this message appears:
 
"Type M-x switch-to-prev-buffer RET to restore previous buffer, C-M-v to
scroll help"
 
In Emacs 23 you correctly see this message instead:
 
"Type C-x 4 C-o RET to restore the other window, C-M-v to scroll help."
