Hi,

I'm trying to get a message in an XDM login screen greeting to be
spread across 3 lines (it's a long greeting :-)

I amended the default entry for xlogin.Login.greeting in the
Xresources file as referenced by the xdm-config start up file.

I have tried using \n and the ASCII code for newline in the greeting
message but the greeting is still along one longline and I get
strange characters where the newlines should be.

I guess it's simple but I havent managed to work it yet; so if
anyone could let me know how to use newlines from within an XDM
greeting message I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance
Surinder
