I am creating a scrolling text box. How do I get the information to appear on seperate lines (carriage return) in action scripting?

I’m creating a daily journal with the txt box. I have several entries in for each day. I would like to separate them and make them appear evenly spaced.

Any ideas?

\*\* to separate each line. =)

Kax,

Thanks. Of course ten minutes after I posted the darn thing I figured it out.

You can also use \r for return or  
for a return and a new line.
