When the minibuffer is in use, it appears in the echo area, and the
terminal's cursor moves there. The beginning of the minibuffer line

Since @key{RET} in the minibuffer is defined to exit the minibuffer,
you can't use it to insert a newline in the minibuffer. To do that,

! character control-J.)
The minibuffer has its own window which always has space on the screen
but acts as if it were not there when the minibuffer is not in use. When

@findex previous-history-element
The simplest way to reuse the saved arguments in the history list is
to move through the history list one element at a time. While in the
! minibuffer, use @kbd{M-p} or up-arrow (@code{previous-history-element})
! to ``move to'' the next earlier minibuffer input, and use @kbd{M-n} or
! down-arrow (@code{next-history-element}) to ``move to'' the next later
! input.
The previous input that you fetch from the history entirely replaces
the contents of the minibuffer. To use it as the argument, exit the
