Minubuffer Problems

Hello all,

I have been using epoch for quite a while now. I have aliased epoch to
use the -nm (nominibuffer) option. I would like to set an X resource
so I no longer need this option in the command line. Someone told me
what it was once but I forgot what it was. Does anyone know what the
resource is and what it should be set to?

(M-x Thanks in advance)

From EPOCH-FAQ...

C-1: How do I get the minibuffer back at the bottom of my edit window?
  
  Start Epoch with the command-line option '-nm'.  Alternately, in your
  general .Xdefaults file, specify:
  
    epoch.nonlocal.minibuf: False
  
  (These techniques only work in Epoch 4.0.)

	Say, does anyone know how the ``lemacs''/epoch integration
	is going... Has anyone worked on getting nonlocal mini-buffers
	in ``lemacs''?? Are people still using epoch, or are the three
	of us the only ones?

  I'm still using epoch; mainly because I haven't had time to get the
menu-redrawing bug out of my compile of lemacs-19.8 nor the time to
attempt an FSF emacs-19 compile. I require a terminal-based version of
emacs and using Epoch ensures I don't have to worry too much about the
differences between (l)emacs 18 & 19 packages for when I use an
X-based and a terminal-based emacs. Unfortunately, it has also
prevented me from doing much in the way of upgrading to the "newer,
brighter, lemon-scented" versions of the packages I use (e.g., gnus).

	I've continued using it because of my attachment to the
	non-local mini-buffer in epoch. I've found it very useful,
	and I wish it were available in lemacs. Emacs19 allows
	non-local mini-buffers, but I don't think lemacs does.
	However, given the new features in lemacs, perhaps it's
	time to throw in the towel (or hack it into lemacs,
	I believe the stubs may be there).

Lucid GNU Emacs 19.9 is available now.  Look for it in the usual places
 (ftp.uu.net is one of them;  I don't know the path name since I'm a
  uucp customer and the ls-lR.Z on the uucp host doesn't seem to be
  available right now).
