# Mini-Buffer

The Mini-Buffer consists of a single line located at the bottom of the screen. Much of the dialog between the user and jed takes place in this buffer. For example, when you search for a string, jed will prompt you for the string in the Mini-Buffer.

The Mini-Buffer also provides a direct link to the S-Lang interpreter. To access the interpreter, press CTRL-X ESC and the `S-Lang>` prompt will appear in the Mini-Buffer. Enter any valid S-Lang expression for evaluation by the interpreter.

It is possible to recall data previously entered into the Mini-Buffer by using the up and down arrow keys. This makes it possible to use and edit previous expressions in a convenient and efficient manner.
