escape characters (\n)

I have two CsEntry applications, both CAPI, both having errmsgs using \n.
In one of them the \n does not work.
I´ve tried using maketext, changing the \n from inside the message and having it in the formatting string for no avail.
Is there a software option or a flag that I have to set?
Best

Great,
Thank you very much, I was going crazy because of that.
As a suggestion, this should be included in the help. The only reference I found to the escape character in the help was in the writefile command,and it does not say that we could use it in errmsg, msgtext, etc.
