Yes, this is too ambiguous. > A better question would be: > > A command is running in the default buffer. Run in a new buffer? (yes or no) Still not clear, IMO (what "default buffer"? run what?). How about Shell output buffer is used by another command; run this command in a new buffer (yes or no)? > 77 characters long, but I have no idea how to make it shorter > without much loss of meaning. I think we should try making it crystal clear and not worry too much about its length. The minibuffer is perfectly capable of displaying multi-line prompts.
