net send batch file new line

[SrA Michael Roszkowski USAF]

I know you can type "CTRL+T" to get a new line in the net
send command when you're typing it from the command line.

Does anyone know how to do the same thing from a batch
file?

Here's my batch:
:: start (notify.bat)

setlocal
set msg=Node %1 down! Check OpenView immediately!
FOR /F %%i IN (notifylist.txt) DO @net send %%i %msg% > Nul
endlocal

:: end


Notifylist.txt is a text file with the single line of the
computer name that I want notified. Obviously this list
will grow to reflect all the computers that will be
notified.

The IP address is passed from the command line.

Thanks,

Use ¶ for the new line. (Character 182, paragraph)

I've tried that, it translates into a certain character in
the "Terminal" font that looks like two Pipes "|" with a
little horizontal line on the left hand pipe in the popup
box.

That did it... I didn't have a % in-front of the ¶
charecter.

Thank you!
