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---

Subject: [jawsscripts] JawsMessage Box: HowTo force new/blank lines in
message?
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.
