   There are some restrictions on the use of the minibuffer window,
 however.  You cannot switch buffers in it---the minibuffer and its
 window are permanently attached.  Also, you cannot split or kill the
 minibuffer window.  But you can make it taller in the normal fashion

+@vindex resize-mini-windows
+  The minibuffer window expands vertically as necessary to hold the text
+that you put in the minibuffer if @code{resize-mini-windows} is
+non-@code{nil}.  If @code{resize-mini-windows} is @code{t}, the window
+is always resized to fit the size of the text it displays.  If
+@code{resize-mini-windows} is the symbol @code{grow-only}, the window
+is enlarged only, until it becomes empty again, at which point it
+shrinks to its normal size again.
