You can put the linefeeds in yourself. a=:'ab',LF,'cd',LF,'ef',LF,'gh',LF,'ij' a ab cd ef gh ij $a 14 b=: 'ab','cd','ef','gh',:'ij' b ab cd ef gh ij $b 5 2 c=: 0 : 0 ab cd ef gh ij ) c ab cd ef gh ij $c 15
Note that a is a 14 character string which displays linefeeds and b is a 5 2 array. c is a 15 character string because of the extra LF you have used to moved to the last line ')' in your explicit definition.
