To expand on Craig's reply, you can create quite long messages for use in MESSAGEBOX( ). You can add line breaks ( CHR( 13 ) ) to format a long message e.g.
eMessageTest = 'Record not found. Would you like to search again?' + CHR( 13 ) ;
+ 'This text is on the next line' + CHR( 13 ) ;
+ CHR( 13 ) ;
+ 'This text follows a blank line'
