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

ah, but, it was not wasted jackie! because, in martin's example, which was the only type I'd ever seen myself, 
before I noted yours below, we had it such as it became necessary
to start a new, let =sMessage + "newBit"
type thing, as the concatination grew,
as opposed to your way, which just continues the one let statement, with pluses on the next line! and I didn't know that could work, so that's heaps valuable to know too, as it seems somewhat simpler than having to restart the let statement every time you want a concatination. 

so, thanks for replying!
