 MicroWorlds Pro "QUESTION Set Size" question

 ; padding-bottom: 0 }  -->nIn MicroWorlds 2.03 the code listed below works
as I wish.  In MW PRO it does not execute.  Can you help me?  Below I list
2 problems I encounter with the code below.
 ...

set "question "pos [200 45]

set "question "size [300 200] Question (se [ANGLE ESTIMATION] char 13
[SELECT ONE OF THESE CHOICES:] char 13 [1)] char 32  [ANGLES FROM 0 TO 90
DEGREES.] char 13 [2)] char 32  [ ANGLES FROM 0 TO 180 DEGREES.] char 13
[3)] char 32  [ ANGLES FROM 0 TO 360 DEGREES.] char 13 [4)] char 32  [
QUIT.] )
  ...
#1)  I understand 'char 13' (line feed/carriage return) no long works in MW
Pro.  It did in MW 2.03.  What work arounds do you use?  I am trying to
format the question on 6 lines so it has a 'formatted' appearance on the
screen.

#2)

I get the error message listed below in the Command Center of MW PRO when I
try to execute the code:

"set does not like size as input in INIT"  (INIT is my procedure name)
  In order to get my long question in the question box, I need a large
question box.  Setting the size as indicated in the code above worked in MW
2.03.
The only size command associated with set is the

set "question "size [300 200]

statement.

In MW 2.03 the "set question size" command  works quite nicely.  However,
this same command gives me an error message in MW Pro.  Am I doing
something wrong in MicroWorlds Pro?  How can I solve this problem?

thanks,

Hi Chuck,

Good to hear from you.

The char 13 thing is very strange indeed. Might I suggest using the
vertical bar to "force" special characters in Question. For example...

to foobar
question "|foo
fooey
foobar
blah blah|
end

You can also type the text in a hidden text box and then use QUESTION
textboxname to get the formatting you want.

Your second question may be the result of some functionality being
removed from MicroWorlds Pro due to lack of use. The dialog box WILL
resize to accomodate all of your text (that's the good news).
