Multiple lines in display dialog

I know this is a stupid question, ( :oops: I’m very experienced with applescript) but how do you get text to display on a new line in a ‘display dialog’?
I know you could just use spaces, but is there an easier way to do this, kind of like the “n” command for C++ to put text on a new line.

Never mind. I was so stupid. I thought of how to do it 2 seconds after I posted my question. Heres how I did it:

display dialog "Hello there" & return & "How are you?"

In fact, if you type:

display dialog "Newnline"
display dialog "Newrline"

It will compile as:

display dialog "New
line"
display dialog "New
line"
#4

Thanks for the info.
