Even better (IMHO) suggestion: using the 
  popup_buffer(buf, max_rows = Max_Popup_Size)
function from bufutils.sl to open up the compiler output will give you the
opportunity to
  *  set the maximal number of rows
  *  close buffer and window at once with close_buffer
(see e.g. the gnuplot.sl mode for an example of how it is done)
Caveat: the standard compiler support uses pop2buf -- if you use these, it
might be easier to have a wrapper with fit_window(max_rows) than to change
the sources.

Is this when trying with M-x (emacs_escape_x)?
emacs_escape_x only knows functions that are declared to it via the
add_completion() function. Also, emacs_escape_x does not provide a means to
give arguments to a function.

Use M-Shift-X (evaluate_cmd) and insert valid slang code at the minibuffer
prompt. (Get and install Klaus Schmidts sltabc.sl to have TAB-completion
here too.)

Test, whether Help>Describe_Function says: Undefined or just Undocumented.

Hope this helps
