Of course it's possible. But the effort needed, that's another
question. 

Actually, you could implement a sticky joe-like help screen relatively
easily with a multi-line statusbar... if someone bothered to write
the multi-line support. And with a little hacking, you could create
some interactive tutoring: make the strings for the keys meters,
and give a suitable attribute to colourise the key you want the user 
to press.

Sure, but someone still needs to write them.
