Is there a way to specify a newline or carriage return in a
text variable like:
<TESET var = "Dear User," + NL + "This is to let ...">
The reason I ask is that I have a template with a section of
code that outputs some information for a web page, then
pretty much repeats the code section again to create a
<TEMAIL> message (for non-HTML, plain text only email). If
there were some way to append the information to a string
variable with some newline characters (so the text wasn't
all in one continuous line) while I was processing the code
during the first run-through, then I could avoid the
repetition.

Michael, you can code something similar to the following:
<tedeclare var test text 100>
<teset test = "this is the first line<br>this is the second
line">
When you do a <teshow>...similar to the following:
<teshow "this is the test variable:"+test>
The results are the following:
this is the test variable:this is the first line
this is the second line
Does this help? If not, please let us know. Thanks!

Actually, what you want to use is the same escape sequences
that work in Javascript, backslash-n (\n) for linefeed, \t
for tab...
Or, just emit the text in a section, and format as you want
it to be.
