(Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Supply value for new ESCAPE_FROM_EDGE parameter to Ffield_beginning. (Fminibuffer_complete_word): Use Ffield_beginning to find the prompt end. (Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Test for an empty input string by seeing where the field begins, instead of looking at text-properties. (read_minibuf): Don't save minibuffer prompt length on minibuf_save_list. Don't initialize minibuffer prompt length. Wrap prompt text-properties around the entire prompt. Add 'prompt text-property to prompt. Get final value with Ffield_string instead of make_buffer_string. (read_minibuf_unwind): Don't restore minibuffer prompt length from minibuf_save_list. (do_completion): Get minibuffer input with Ffield_string instead of Fbuffer_string. Erase minibuffer input with Ferase_field instead of erase_buffer. (Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Likewise. Test whether buffer is empty by looking for the 'prompt text property at the end. Set prompt length by looking for the end of the prompt text property, and save prompt length for later use (since there is no longer a buffer variable to get it from). (Fminibuffer_prompt_width, Fminibuffer_prompt_end): Functions removed. (syms_of_minibuf): Remove initializations of Sminibuffer_prompt_width and Sminibuffer_prompt_end.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides a pre-packaged `Electric Help Mode' for
;; browsing on-line help screens.  There is one entry point,
;; `with-electric-help'; all you have to give it is a no-argument
;; function that generates the actual text of the help into the current
;; buffer.

;; To make this the default, you must do
;; (require 'ehelp)
;; (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'ehelp-command)
;; (define-key global-map [help] 'ehelp-command)
;; (define-key global-map [f1] 'ehelp-command)

  "Pop up an \"electric\" help buffer.
The arguments are THUNK &optional BUFFER NOERASE MINHEIGHT.
THUNK is a function of no arguments which is called to initialize the
contents of BUFFER.  BUFFER defaults to `*Help*'.  BUFFER will be
erased before THUNK is called unless NOERASE is non-nil.  THUNK will
be called while BUFFER is current and with `standard-output' bound to
the buffer specified by BUFFER.

If THUNK returns nil, we display BUFFER starting at the top, and
shrink the window to fit.  If THUNK returns non-nil, we don't do those things.

After THUNK has been called, this function \"electrically\" pops up a window
in which BUFFER is displayed and allows the user to scroll through that buffer
in electric-help-mode. The window's height will be at least MINHEIGHT if
this value is non-nil.

If THUNK returns nil, we display BUFFER starting at the top, and
shrink the window to fit.  If THUNK returns non-nil, we don't do those
things.

When the user exits (with `electric-help-exit', or otherwise) the help
buffer's window disappears (i.e., we use `save-window-excursion')
BUFFER is put into `default-major-mode' (or `fundamental-mode') when we exit."
