I assume you are creating an edit rather than an input which is single line.

An ini key value is only the remainder of the line after the "key=", so if you write several lines of text you only read back the first line.

The easiest way to do it is to save the text to a file, say MyText.txt, and write the name of the file in the ini key.

Another way is to save the number of lines in a key, and then save each line as line1=, line2= etc, but unless you use InFileEX you have to be carefull about th e32k limit.

Third way is to replace all @CRLF, @LF and @CR with some other unlikely characters such as ~#@~C~R~L~F#~ for @CRLF characters and save just one long line, then convert back when you read the ini.
