Programs that use the Forms and Menus interface (for example, the Design, Draft and Isodraft modules) strip out line feeds and compress consecutive spaces to a single space before text strings are assigned to array variables. If this is not the effect you want, you can suppress this automatic editing by including the RAW keyword into the variable‑setting command line for these programs.
The syntax for setting array variable elements to unedited text strings is
VAR !VarName RAW ...
where ¼ represents any of the standard VAR syntax for setting variables.
