What do you mean exactly "you get no new line"? 1) you cannot insert strings containing new lines 2) the new lines disapper when you extract the data (get replaced by something else?) 3) you do not see the newline when you display the field values (are you sure this is not an escaping issue '\n' vs '<br/>'?)
