Hi

I'm trying to initialise a mult-line edit control in Windows. I want to
initially display a couple of lines of text, e.g an address. I'm curerently
using Borland's TEdit class and using TEdit::Insert(LPSTR Text), which
inserts the Text string into the edit control at the current text insertion 
point. 

I want to specify in my string Text that there should be a line break. I've
tried "Name \n Age", however instead of forcing a line break it prints a
thin bar representing the \n code.

I'm sure there must be a simple way of inserting line breaks into strings.

Thanks
Sean
