    A couple of questions:

    1. Is there a way to insert line breaks into item descriptions?
    2. Will scrollbars appear in the description box if the text is long?

    Don't know, and probably not :)

    To get a new line, try \n as in C++. The Official Python website (which I just visited for the first time - go figure :p) says
    it doesn't say what the 'newline' character is, but try n and see what happens :)

    EDIT: shoulda read further down the page ;) try \r

    I tested it and it's simpler than that. All you have to do is type normally. I.e. if you press 'enter' in the mes file then it recognizes the new line. Tab characters are converted to spaces however.

    Unfortunately, there's no scrollbar. I was going to suggest that item attributes each be listed on their own line. Without the scrollbar this looks real ugly. Maybe a scrollbar could be modded in?
