Geoff, It is \n within a string that forces a new line. To keep message segments short, just concatenate them. Combining both approaches, we have: ---code segment--- Var string msg Let msg = "first line\n" Let msg = msg + "second line\n" Let msg = msg + "third line" MessageBox (msg) ---code ends--- hth Martin----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Chapman" <gch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

guys, could any of you indicate to me how one forces newLineCharacters and/or blank lines in a message contained in the Jaws MessageBox function, to improve Formatting and readability of the end resultant onScreen message? And, also how one goes about making it more readable/editable itself whilst constructing it, within the script manager, such that it doesn't just scroll off the screen as one is composing? Thanks so much. geoff c.
