I put my mini-buffer at the top of the > screen (heads up!), and run a minimum of fours screens below it. i'd vote for retaining the separate minibuffer feature too. and, like Gary, i like mine at the top of my screen, i don't ever overlap it with other windows, so it's never hidden. i've come to really like knowing it's there, in one place, always available. from the other messages posted on this subject, i find it curious that some sites seem to go totally one way or the other for the minibuffer location. but, what the heck, it definately shows it's a matter of personal preference, and since epoch/emacs is already so eminently configurable to one's tastes, it would be too bad if a nice feature like this were to go away.
