Yep that's right Soronel.
 Ok cool, Thanks very much for this.
That's AWESOME.

it seems to work!
thank you thank you.

I only used "\n" and it seems to be doing the trick?
I thought though, that there was some talk of you having to use two

thanks very much for that snappy response also Soronel eh..
