Emacs minibuffer - text wrapping of code completion hints from SLIME

Emacs minibuffer - text wrapping of code completion hints from SLIME

[joubert.nel]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting text to wrap in the minibuffer.

I've done (setq resize-mini-windows nil) in my .emacs file and used my
mouse to increase the minibuffer's height.

However, when code-completion text is automatically put there by SLIME
(for Common Lisp hacking) and it doesn't fit the width, there's no
text wrapping - i.e. only the 1st line of the minibuffer contains
text.

Any ideas?

Not sure (as usual, might be better directed to the slime mailing
list...), but you might want to look into 

M-x customize-variable  
slime-autodoc-use-multiline-p

(though it sounds like you _don't_ want the minibuffer
itself resizing, ho hum)
