It's rather difficult to implement multi-line entries in the curses
list. It doesn't support them right now, so the format gave by history
call is a plus. One quick idea is to keep array ENTRY_MULTIPLICITY
which would hold count of "\n"-s for each list entry. I would
implement that in separate n-list-multi-line. Line-wise n-list is fine
in the line-wise Unix world, but like in the history case, there are
situations where that isn't fully enough.

Best regards,
