  Hi there.

  I have a problem with Epoch that I have not found discussed
anywhere, although it seems to me rather annoying: I would like the
long lines in the minibuffer to be cut in several pieces, so I could
see them all; this would be particularly useful when ange-ftp prompts
with a line looking like :
Copy file to ? (default //anonymous@archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/packages)

This may need the minibuffer window to grow and shrink accordingly. Is
there an easy way to do this?

  Thanks in advance.
