The only reason we use the separate mini-buffer here is that the local
mini-buffer gets confused when you start an operation (like a search)
in one window and then move the mouse to a different Epoch window.

There are about 20 of us using Epoch 4.2 here and I think that we
would prefer the local mini-buffer if it worked correctly.

The FAR more important feature though is to get a scroll bar and menu
line into Epoch.  Let's not get caught up in the little stuff.
