multi-line abort message
Hi,

I am trying to create a multi-line abort message. I have tried adding $\n and $\r, but neither seem to work. Has anybody had any luck doing this?

MessageBox MB_OK "test$\ntest2" works...

yeah, but unfortunately

abort "test$\ntest2"

doesn't seem to for me.

MessageBox MB_OK "test$\r$\ntest2" should work on Windows systems to display multi-line messages.

A multi-line Abort does not exist! Use multiple "DetailPrint" to show more lines when aborting. Use the command Abort as the final line to be shown, like this

DetailPrint "Something went wrong..."
DetailPrint "Oops..."
DetailPrint "Sorry for messing up your system!"
Abort "Thank you for using a Microsoft Product."
