I am using gnuemacs 18.55.
When I get a message in the minibuffer, I would like to be able to
scroll it horizontally. I do not know how to do this without making the
message go away... Is there a method for doing this? Is there a ring
of messages? Has anyone implemented a package that will let you scroll
through the last N minibuffer messages?
The other problem I have with the minibuffer is that if I am typing in
it and I go past the right edge of the screen, it scrolls the full width
of the screen. This means that I can't see the last few characters that
I typed, and often I have to keep toggling back and forth with C-a and
C-e. Is there a way to make it scroll less?
Thanks.
