Hello!

    I'm using epoch 4.0p2, and there are two quite irritating problems
associated with the use of the local minibuffer.

    The first occurs when editing a response to a prompt in the
minibuffer.  It is great to be able to perform an undo in the
minibuffer now, not only to correct mistakes but to return previous
prompt answers.  Unfortunately, this feature is almost useless because
'Undo!' appears on top of the prompt, making it impossible to see
where you are; to make the undone reappear in the minibuffer, you
reverse the direction of the undo list, preventing further undoing.

    Another problem occurs randomly but irritatingly often; when using
the local minibuffer, prompts often appear containing no text in them.
A backward-char puts the cursor on top of the final character in the
line, so epoch must think that the cursor was originally at the
correct end-of-line position.  One way to force the bug seems to be to
find-file-other-screen ~/^J, then trying a find-file-other-screen in
the new screen.

    If this bug occurs with a prompt asking a 'y/n' question, such as
'save file xxx ? (y/n)' in a compilation, you can be in a situation
where you are waiting for a compile to start with no indication at all
that epoch is waiting for your response, as the cursor is not put into
the minibuffer.
