In order for user to be in control of the content, the editor should not
add any other characters other than what is typed.

This gives consistent behavior which makes it possible to store one-line
passwords to the file without the extra need to deal with final NEWLINE
when read back.

For further reference, e.g. Emacs does not add final newline unless the
user specifically activates an option.

Change:

    Set to "wishlist" as this feature couldcs be added as a user
    settable option in the program.

Thanks,
Jari
