It's an option although using "\ nwhatever" is also. Yes, the space is
noticeable but do users ever actually READ this stuff?<g>

Hi Lee,

I would have expected \r to start a new string on the same line so you'd
get overwriting.

What happens if you put this into a variable and use the variable in the
message?

Best regards,

Works. From what I've seen \n for newline is the only usage in SB.

Hi,

Instead of using "\n", why not using another combination which is more
unique, for example: <13,10>

Because I want in my message box:
1. c:\nginx\nginxservice.exe
2. *AND* new lines

At this moment, I guess this is not possible?
