Right.  I exclusively use systems where I can always see the entire
prompt which might ask me something like "Delete 27 files?" and
additionally allows me to see the names of these files via some extra
scrolling mechanism.  Provided there's not enough space to see the
entire prompt and the names of all these files in a popped-up window.
In either case, the entire prompt must be visible.
