I've found that companion's text editor has other issues as well. Besides this limitation that Brandon found, I haven't run into it myself, there is also the fact that It won't let you duplicate a text line. At first this may seem like a good thing, but by default in my pnc junk I use the first four lines as my defaults for look talk get and use... I'm not always sure what I want to put in them right off so I try to leave them blank and move on down the list. It appears to take them just fine, but when you close the screen and come back to it later, you will find that everything in the list has been shifted up as only one blank line is saved, the others disappear. This happens not only with blank lines, but also duplicate text which companion sees the multiple blank lines as. So for instance if line 1 you type "hi" and then again in line 2 "hi" and say in line 3 you type "there" once it is saved and reopened you will find that line 1 says "hi" and line 2 says "there"... the duplicate "hi" that was typed into 2 originally is removed and everything else slides up. Doesn't really help with displaying multiple lines of text, but it seems to me Brandon has found the fix, use scistudio to create the text resource when necesary  :P

I'll bet though that a little fiddling with formatprint could actually allow multiple lines of text to be printed at same time. Saving each line as a variable, then printing out the multiple variables...

When I've got an environment to test again with, I'll happily hack together a function that will support printing multiple text resources at once, if the need still exists.

It would seem a welcome ability at times. Especially if one is using only Companion's text editor.
