+@bold{Purpose.} Opens an editor window for @racket[filename].
-Racket editor frame and the editor is shown immediately.
+
+@bold{Preconditions.} @racket[filename] identifies the file to open.
+@racket[frame-cb] must accept two arguments: a lifecycle symbol and the editor
+frame. The geometry arguments specify valid dimensions and screen coordinates.
+
+@bold{Postconditions.} An editor frame has been created and shown. When
+@racket[wait?] is @racket[#f], @racket[rkdt] returns after the frame has been
+shown and the @racket['after-show] callback has run. When @racket[wait?] is
+@racket[#t], @racket[rkdt] waits until the frame is closed.
+
+@bold{Result.} The procedure returns @racket[(void)]. The editor frame itself is
+made available to @racket[frame-cb] during its lifecycle callbacks.
+
+@bold{Internal workings.} Each open editor receives an internal number. That
+number is appended to the window title and is used to distinguish stored window
+geometry. Numbers belonging to closed editors are reused. On close, the current
+position and size are stored for that internal number and the current screen
+configuration.

-to Racket. Consequently, changing the monitor configuration causes the default
-geometry, or geometry previously stored for that configuration, to be used.
-
-If @racket[wait?] is @racket[#f], the procedure returns after the editor has
-been shown. If @racket[wait?] is @racket[#t], the current event handler waits
-until the editor window is closed before the procedure continues.
-
-The @racket[frame-cb] procedure receives the editor frame. With the default
-@racket[#:wait?] value it is called after the frame has been shown and can be
-used to customize the frame, for example to change its title. When
-@racket[wait?] is @racket[#t], the callback is called only after the window has
-been closed. Its return value is ignored.
-
-Each open editor has an internal number. That number is shown in the window
-title and is also used to distinguish stored window geometries. Numbers of
-closed editor windows are reused.

+@section{Frame callback lifecycle}
+
+The procedure supplied with @racket[#:frame-cb] is called as
+@racket[(frame-cb call-time frame)]. Its return value is ignored. The
+@racket[call-time] argument has the following meanings.
+
+@itemlist[
+ @item{@racket['before-show] is called after the frame has been fully created,
+       positioned, resized, numbered, and supplied with the callback, but before
+       @racket[show] is called. This is the preferred point for changes that
+       should already be visible when the window first appears, such as changing
+       the title.}
+ @item{@racket['after-show] is called immediately after @racket[show] has been
+       called. It can be used for actions that require a shown frame.}
+ @item{@racket['wait-for-close] is called only when @racket[#:wait? #t] is in
+       effect, immediately before @racket[rkdt] starts waiting for the frame to
+       close.}
+ @item{@racket['on-close] is called while the frame's close event is being
+       handled. At that point its geometry has been stored, its internal number
+       has been released for reuse, and the close semaphore has been posted.}
+]
+
+Thus, without waiting, the normal lifecycle is
+@racket['before-show], @racket['after-show], and eventually
+@racket['on-close]. With @racket[#:wait? #t], @racket['wait-for-close] occurs
+between @racket['after-show] and @racket['on-close].
