No newline in addhelp

[John Gerdeman <johnpatrick@gerdeman.de>]

I'm documenting some functions I wrote using addhelp, but addhelp does
not seem to understand, i.e just ignores it completely, the newline
sequence \n. On the other hand the tab sequence \t seems to be
understood just fine.

Is there a way to force addhelp to give out a newline? It seems like one
of the basic things text structure.

Thanks in advance
