    OK...so I really like the Scroll View aspect of the new GUI stuff. It seems to be a great thing for a lot of text data.

    The problem I have is how can I format that text within a long text box? Right now, it all seems to need to be within one long line (no returns). Am I using this incorrectly?

    \n will generate new lines, if that's all you want.

    Thanks. That's a start. What about things like quotations (anything in quotes seems to read as something else in Unitron.)

    You need to escape them...\ is the escape character (like with newlines). \"
