When i choose "change alterable string" in the event editor, how would i make a line change thing ? i think it used to be \n or something, but that doesn't work ...

make a text object that has only one paragraph containing only a new line.
Then on the event editor, set the alterable string of your text thing you're working with(not the new line one) to "blah blah blah" + paragraph$( "moo...", 0 )+ " other stuff"

isn't that an awkward way of doing it ? i'm pretty sure there's a command or something for it...at least, i think i remember doing the \n thing back in the KnP days, so surely MMF must have a similar feature ?

"$newline"
or
"NewLine$"
something like that

I'm pretty sure it's NewLine$. You can check in the Special Conditions box in the expression editor.

Yup, it's NewLine$
I never noticed that.
Use my method if you use TGF though. TGF doesn't have the convenient NewLine$ thingamabob.

You can just press Ctrl + Enter in the expression evaluator.

Evil - But if you are mixing strings it gets a bit more complex. Say you want two strings on differant lines:
string1.txt + Newline$ + string2.txt
