xecho and ovxecho will honor newlines in their input data. From
the command line, this works ok for me, something similar should
work programatically as well.

Subject: [nv-l] Dialogs (ovxecho/xecho) and a nicely formatted message



Working on automating a process around a NetView Server.

Process is going to require operating action/intervention, so I'm
looking to use xecho or ovxecho. My experience so far has indicated
that the message, iregardless of how it is formulated will display as
a
single line of text.

Anyone have any pointers on being able to format text in these tools?

Anyone have any substitutes they'd like to suggest otherwise???
