That will work, as will:
"this is a test
On two lines
Or maybe three"
As you note, only the first line is indented.
You can also use the option-return keystroke, which is a script continuation
character:
set x to "this is some text" & return & �
"with a second line" & return & �
"and a third"
Here you do get some sensible indentation.
However, all these tricks aside, many scripters simply get used to the fact
that line wrapping looks atrocious in script editor.
