That is only possible if you put them in the AnsiString that way to begin
with.  Assigning the Hint for a component does *not* convert '\r' nd '\n'
characters to "\\r" and "\\n" strings.

Please show your EXACT code.

As you should be.  You cannot type the '\r' and '\n' characters into the
Object Inspector.  You have to do it programmably, or alternatively modify
the DFM text directly, ie:

    object Button1: TButton
        Hint = 'click here'#13#10'to do something'
    end

Otherwise, when you type '\r' or '\n' into the Object Inspector, you really
are typing '\\' slash characters, not '\' espace characters.
