adding linebreaks to #ECHO commands?
 
Hi.

Is there a way of adding linebreaks when using the #ECHO command? Here's what I'd like:

Code:
 #ECHO  *linebreak*  text text text blah blah 



The way I found that does this is to add an additional #ECHO " " before my #ECHO with the text I want displayed, and in this way force the insertion of a blank space (and consequently also a linebreak)

This approach is lengthy and inelegant. Is there some kind of escape character or somesuch mechanism that forces a linebreak inside the text output field of the #ECHO command?

Is something like
#echo foo %crlf bar
what you want?

To avoid a space before "bar" on the new line, you could use %concat

That appears to be it, thank you :)
