 Function:      NGshort()

 Syntax:        NGshort(nEntry) --> aShortList

 Description:   This function loads a Short List into the result array.
                The returned array is 2-dimensional, formatted as Followed:

                { { cShortEntryText , nShortEntryAdress } .... }

                The 1st dimension are all the entries, the 2nd dimension
                holds the Short Entry Text and the Short Entry Adres, where
                the underlying entry can be found, or -1 which indicates no

                ought to check for that return value too.
