@@ -40,10 +40,10 @@ The object-oriented interface uses essentially two+two classes:
:class:`ScrolledCanvas` as argument. It should be used when :mod:`turtle` is
used as part of some application.
- Derived from :class:`TurtleScreen` is the subclass :class:`Screen`. Screen
- is implemented as sort of singleton, so there can exist only one instance of
- Screen at a time. It should be used when :mod:`turtle` is used as a
- standalone tool for doing graphics.
+ The function :func:`Screen` returns a singleton object of a
+ :class:`TurtleScreen` subclass. This function should be used when
+ :mod:`turtle` is used as a standalone tool for doing graphics.
+ As a singleton object, inheriting from its class is not possible.
All methods of TurtleScreen/Screen also exist as functions, i.e. as part of
the procedure-oriented interface.
