Subject: format of the history file

Since blank lines are not added to the history file, rc could put
a newline after each command and programs that do multi-line command
editing could be made...  just a thought.

Unfortunatley, history() is called on a line-by-line basis...  maybe
it wouldn't be worth the trouble to find a suitable place to append a
newline to the history file (I'm hoping someone more familiar with
rc internals can find a not-so-ugly place to add such a thing).
