That's Great!
----- OThank you martin.
Sorry I haven't gotten back to email until now, so am a little late in thanking/replying to this one.
I'd forgotten about that concatination thing, but did recall it after I'd sent my message, but sure didn't know about \n, so that's very useful code example. 

thank you.

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

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.
