Is is possible to feed an AnsiString into a TMemo->Lines and hardcode 
linefeeds?

I'm trying to create multi-line hints and use the Application->OnHint 
function to display my hints in a TMemo. I'd like to do something like 
this... (pardon the mailer formatting)

MyButton->Hint = "Click here to do something.\nThis is useful for the 
following reasons :\n1. good for you\n2.good for me\n3.good for them";

// long hint handler
void __fastcall THintForm::DisplayHint(TObject *Sender)
{
	HintMemo->Lines->Clear();
	HintMemo->Lines->Add(GetLongHint(Application->Hint));
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried CommaText and DelimitedText, but both of those break out my 
hint into 1 word per line.

Thanks so much!!!

Rob
