sean,

here are some examples of long string output with&without imbedded
linefeed characters,

astr='11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' +$
'22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222'+$
'3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so on...'
print, astr

LF=string(10B)
astr='11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' +LF+$
'22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222'+LF+$
'3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so on...'

print,format='("11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ",/,'+$
' "22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222",/,'+$
' "3333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and so
