I've just tested this, and the following will not look correct in Verge:



PrintString(10, 10, screen, 0, "LINE 1" + chr(10) + "LINE 2");

It prints as:
LINE 1LINE 2

Instead of:
LINE 1
LINE 2

The same thing happens for a chr(10) + chr (13), or just chr(13). Please, add support for newlines and carriage returns, it's preferable over having to GetToken() each line.

You expected it to?

That'd be nice, though. Would remove a lot of extraneous code. But it'd potentially break a lot of old vc. Augmenting PrintString would be bad, making a better PrintString would be good.
