Use "
" instead of "\n". --- <command name="alert" parameter="foo
bar
gee" /> --- > Secondly, I'd like to have a Menu item for my configuration that will > open up a user's default system browser to a URL.

Define a menu for your configuration (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch06s15.html) with a menu item invoking a command or macro-command containing something like: --- <command name="run" parameter='start "" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/' /> --- On the Mac, use the "open" facility (may be with "start" instead of "run" -- I've not tested it.) On Linux, use "mozilla -remote openURL(...)" (may be with "start" instead of "run" -- I've not tested it.)
