MultiLine text boxes idea
I was wondering if you could add some flags that would...
1. Change it so that multiline text box works like the LogWindow (lines are like selectable/deletable items).
2. Allow the user to delete one or more of these items from the list.

This would be nice.

You can use the "LISTBOX"

Ok, in the readme it says:

MULTISELECT: Used by "Listbox" controls. Turns string selection on or off each time the user clicks or double-clicks a string in the list box. The user can select any number of strings. If this flag and EXTENDEDSELCT are not specified, only one item can be selected from the the list.

But, there is no way to unselect an item once the user has selected it (as in an item has to always be selected in the list).

You wrong, the user is able to select and unselect items
if you have required items, you should verify on custom page leave, ex:

[Field 1]
Type=Listbox
Text=Listbox
Left=30
Right=110
Top=22
Bottom=81
ListItems=One|Two|Third
Flags=MULTISELECT

if EXTENDEDSELCT used, try press CONTROL while selecting items, for me works like a charm

I mean, with MULITISLECT & EXTENDEDSELCT you cannot have 0 items selected once you have clicked once in the list box.

Try with the control key down while clicking the over selected item, it should deselect
