Good point.  We don't use readline on Win32, but rather the native
command-line control, over which we have little control.  Update release
item text is:
     <listitem>      <para>       Save multi-line statements as a single entry, rather than       one line at a time
(SergeyE. Koposov)      </para>
 
      <para>       This makes up-arrow recall of queries easier.  (This is       not availble on Win32 because it
typicallyuses the native       command-line editing present in the operating system.)      </para>     </listitem>
