If you are using direct commands then you could simply do the insert, then your problem doesn't even make sense. ie:

Create Cursor test (Id Int, dummy Memo)
Local ix, lcText

Insert Into test (Id, dummy) Values (1, 'Line 1' + Chr(13)+Chr(10) +'line 2')
Insert Into test (Id, dummy) Values (2, 'Line 1' + Chr(13)+Chr(10) + ;
	'Line 2' + Chr(13)+Chr(10) + ;
	'Line 3' + Chr(13)+Chr(10) + ;
	'Line 4')
