Cool:-)
I'll work on with this in mind. I don't know who is the author of the fields

I think any display that dosen't work with multiline fields should concat

I'm glad we are on mutual ground:-)) And the Address Book is definateluy 
getting better and better. With all the talk of kaplan and kgroupware, it is
