If you are using Constructor, just hit the Enter/Return key where you
want to insert the newline in your string.

How are you trying to display the string on your handheld?

This won't work:

  Char str[] = "abc\ndef";
  WinDrawChars( str, StrLen(str), 10, 100 );

because WinDrawChars doesn't know what to do with unprintable chars.

This will work:

  Char str[] = "abc\ndef";
  SetFieldTextFromStr( MainForm, MainFField, str, true );

if MainFField is a multi-line field (and if you write the
SetFieldTextFromStr function), because fields know what to do with
'\n'.
