There is nothing (and there shouldn't be, right?)  in bdb which
prevents me from using multi-line fields; except for one annoyance
which i discovered:

Consider a field 
====================================================
Name1 Name2
             CA: (401) 248-1822
           offi: (408) 944-7573
 Address 1 Address 2:  Cadence Design , inc.
         2655 Seely avenue
         San Jose CA
         95134
 
         (devedddndra viddni:  650 967 3226):             net: [EMAIL PROTECTED]$
         notes: some notes..

====================================================

where i have made  the address multiline (because i didn't want to
edit each address-line separately, i just wanted to paste all my
mouse-contents.. from another buffer..)

bbdb doesn't complain..

except that:

if i go down to the notes field and press e, bbdb errors:
On unfield..

If i go to the second line of address and press e, bbdb starts editing
notes instead..
U get the idea..

i think it would be nice if bbdb did not assume single-line fields
like it does above..
