All on one logical line, yes. As you can see above, more than one physical
line is used. But yes, basically, that's what's I am saying. If you have
*VT100.Translations: #override foo
and
*VT100.Translations: #override bar
Only "bar" will be used, even if it defines translations that don't collide
with those in "foo" at all. It doesn't matter if foo and bar are in the
same file or not.
