CHR(13) doesn't give me a carriage return

I tried the following:
x="Hi" + CHR(13) + "John"
@0,0 say x

It return me Hi <a square character> John

Generally to get a carriage return you have to add to chr(13) an chr(10). I've tried myself :
x=&quot;Hi&quot; + CHR(13) + chr(10) + &quot;John&quot;
@0,0 say x

but nothing. (2 squares).
Try ? x. This work.
Anyway, if you use VFP 6.0, Microsoft says that you should use the label or textbox control.

in normal useage what you have works like

messagebox('message&quot;+chr(13)+'message',0,'tittle')

but in your usage it depends on what the display supports in the way of character display. Attitude is Everything
