Make sure you are using \n and not /n.

You were right!  I assumed because the color was not correct that the syntax was bad, so I never actually tried leaving it that way.  As you say, it does work.

Thanks.

You are correct the + sign does turn black after a single return \n but blue after a double \n\n but both work for me. It could be a bug in LCD. To be honest I did not even notice the color change until I changed the font size of my script window.

When I put just one ".... \n" at the end of a line, the "+" goes inactive (not blue), like it's not working.  What am I doing wrong?

both work fine for me.

I had to add "bla bla \n\n" + "bla" or "bla bla \n" + "bla" If you have the + after but do not follow it with something then it does not work.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Thanks.

I'm using these "\n" in several scripts that have multiple lines, so I'm using the "+" at the end of the line to continue.  When I use a single "\n" the "+" becomes inactive, but when I use "\n\n" it works again.  Do you know what this is about?

This works:

"bla bla \n\n" +

This doesn't work:

"bla bla \n" +

Oops, make sense.  It works now, thanks!

Nope, that doesn't work.  It only prints the "/n/n" as text before the message.  Putting it outside just before the quotes does not work either, that disables the button function completely.

"\n" is a return in JS.

So if you add a couple at the beginning of your strMessage3 text it should do the trick: "\n\n**THE DCO REQUEST..."
