Solved it - I had specified a Courier New font in the init file that was large enough that the frame was getting bumped up against the bottom of the screen; this effectively sent the frame into non-Zoomed mode in Mac window terms, closing the minibuffer.
The cure was to add these lines to the init file: (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 42)) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 80)) (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 150 0) This sets frame location & size such that no bumping occurs. Now everything is swell and I see the minibuffer again.
