Here's a quick copy/paste method to show it working in action -- like
David said, make sure scr_ysize or ysize is set large enough on your
widget_label.

mylabel='1stline'+string(byte(13))+'2ndline'+string(10b)+'3r dline'
dummy = widget_base(xsize=150, ysize=100)
lbl = widget_label(dummy, value=mylabel, scr_ysize=50)
widget_control, dummy, /realize

Cheers,
