That method being creating new texts with nothing but a line break and a double-quotation ["] in their respective boxes. So you basically have Edittext$("quote")+"Hello, how are you?"+Edittext$("quote")+" asked John."+Edittext$("br")+Edittext$("quote")+"Good,"+Edittext$("quote")+" replied Bob." to achieve "Hello, how are you?" asked John. "Good," said Bob. It's a little longer than I think it should be? So I was wondering if there was some other method introduced in MMF2 (I have Developer, if that matters) that I wasn't aware of that could make this simpler. Thanks much. n/a

To get a new line, you can hold control and hit enter to get the string version, or add newline$ to use a more code-like version. Go Moon!

It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.

Also, if you want a new line in an expression, just type +NewLine$+ (e.g. "This is a"+NewLine$+"new line.") When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all. - God (Futurama)
