It depends on how you are obtaining this list item. The item itself
takes the "first form". If you are doing an lsearch to get the item,
then the line in the file for lsearch (which needs both a key to
search for, and the data to be returned) needs to terminate the
key with a colon.
If you are not using an lsearch then "third form" is not relevant.
