Line breaks in ASK Field prompt

A

Andre The Hunter

Hello,

is there any way to inset line breaks into a ASK Field prompt? For example:
{ ASK bookmark "Please choose 1.This 2.That" }

which will display as:
Please choose 1.This 2.That
------------------------------
| |
| |
------------------------------
OK Cancel

Is there any way i can get the prompt to display the text as:
Please choose
1.This
2.That
------------------------------
| |
| |
------------------------------
OK Cancel

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Hi Andre,

AFAIK, the only way to get that effect is to pad the prompt out with spaces to fill each line and force the text to wrap. Note that
the display of anything beyond 255 characters will be truncated.

is there no o there no other way?
unfortunately using spaces exceeds the 255 char limit. i've tried using
quote fields, but to no avail.
