PROMPT_TEXT - Is There Anyway Way to Wrangle With It?

Maybe for starters, how can a new line be forced so that a verbose notice to the user is clearly presented ?

I've tried \n, \r\n, '\'n, \\n, and maybe one or two others, but still haven't stumbled onto the secrets for forcing a new line?

    I would like to know if there is an answer to this too.

    Hello,

    At the moment, the text is taken from the script and placed on the dialog without any formatting, so there is no way to force a new line. I will add a feature request for putting a new line in the text. Is there anything else that would be useful? 

    Cheers,
    Bob

    Sorry, didn't see your question Bob until today when I came looking for an answer to another question I had.

    In terms of anything else?, sure, it's easy to imagine a more customized looking dialog box for users of the script; i.e., not the author of the script, but it's even easier to imagine, that's what the SDK is better suited to handle by brighter minds than mine.

    Kind regards
