That's ok for Unix like operating systems. MS Windows requires
mystring='hello'+STRING([13B,10B])+'bye'
while the Macintosh needs mystring='hello'+STRING(13B)+'bye'
if I'm not mistaken.
You may use the variable !version.os to find out which OS your
program runs on.

STRING(10B) (10 being the ascii code for a new line)
eg, mystring='hello'+STRING(10B)+'bye'

You can use C-style format codes like this:
print, format='(%"hello\nbye")'
