MudWalker doesn't support multi-line patterns.

If you want to match something that happens on two lines, set up a  
trigger for each line, and have the first trigger set a variable which  
the second trigger checks and resets. (This is a programming technique  
known as a state machine.)

What matters is the line breaks the mud sends, which MudWalker has  
almost no control over. (There is a Telnet feature for reporting the  
window size to the server, which MudWalker supports, but most muds  
don't care about it.)
