minibuf: how to "grab" (M-W) it's text?
Maybe I once knew, but I sure forget it now.
Thanks!

Like in any other buffer: the minibuffer is a normal Emacs buffer,
it's just displayed specially.

Besides buffer-string and buffer-substring, see minibuffer-prompt,
minibuffer-prompt-end, and minibuffer-contents.

Maybe you are talking about the echo area? It shares screen space
with the minibuffer; both are active at different times.
See the *Messages* buffer for the echo area stuff. At least most of
it.
