The information in this article applies to:

The international version of FoxPro (version 2.5a) allows you to have multiple lines of text in windows created with the WAIT WINDOW command. To create multiline windows, use the following syntax: 

   WAIT WINDOW "Line number 1." + CHR(13) + "Line number 2."
NOTE: This code works only with FoxPro 2.5a for MS-DOS and FoxPro 2.5a for Windows.
