Ok. Here are patches for the UserGuide and the Reference. The UserGuide mentions typing into the minibuffer many places, but don't explain how to "open" it for typing. So I added "Type M-x when you need to type a command in the minibuffer" to the subsubsection explaining the main window, where it tells that the minibuffer takes input. The reference erroneously claims that one may click on the minibuffer to type in it. That is no longer the case in 1.2.0, so I deleted that. The keybinding is the only way. Helge Hafting
