You can use the Commentary reserved word multiple times, and it will not include a carriage return at the end of each expression (or list of expressions) sent. In order to generate a message that includes carriage returns, you will have to use either the newline or CommentaryCL reserved word.

Additional Examples

Commentary("This is one ");
Commentary("line of commentary");

To include line breaks in the commentary, the reserved word NewLine needs to be used. For example, the following statements produce two lines of commentary text:

Commentary("The 10-bar avg of the close", NewLine);
Commentary(" is:", Average(Close, 10));
