Command Prompt

[Anonymous]

Hello - I having a problems figuring out how to duplicate a LISP command in
VB.
What I'm trying to do is would look like this in LISP
(princ "\nEat at Joe's")
(princ "\nIt's real good")
(princ)

For some reason in VB

acadDoc.Utility.Prompt "Eat at Joe's"

acadDoc.Utility.Prompt "It's real good"

looks like this on the AutoCAD prompt
Command: Eat at Joe'sIt's real good

How do I get the prompt method to do a "New Line"
I have tried appending chr(13) to the strings but it has no effect

Thanks in advance if you can help.

added in your code (" & vbcr")

Thanks
vbCr did not work, but vbLf did.
