[Tutor] Reading from a GUI

[wheelege]

  Hi,

  Is this what you meant....

PythonWin 2.0 (#8, Oct 19 2000, 11:30:05) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
Portions Copyright 1994-2000 Mark Hammond (MarkH@ActiveState.com) - see
'Help/About PythonWin' for further copyright information.
>>> a = "first line\nsecond line"
>>> a
'first line\012second line'
>>> print a
first line
second line

  From that I gather that the escape code is \012 ?

  HTH,
  Glen.
