Do you mean Show message action or something else? \r works in Show Message action, I am positive. ---

I worked a cheap option out of dumping a bunch of spaces in as first like is a constant. Since there is no command value in broadcast message I had to prefix the data with a fixed string to constrain against on the message received action. As the prefix will be the same dropped a dozen spaces in between it and the value. @emre think a command and command value would be handy in display popup. Also had a thought today - previously mentioned time out for display popup but alternatively if not easy/possible how about option to override previous popup with the same name.? ---
