How can you put the label in 2 lines on a Forms command button?

We have some buttons that must have several words on them, but are too wide that way. We tried using set_item_property for the button label, using chr(10) between the words, but that didn't work. Does anything?
Thanks!
 
You could try covering it with another field or another field's prompt, but I can't get it to work.

I think the answer is 'NO', you can't have multiline labels.
 
Yes, you can not split button prompt, but you may create iconic button, using GIFed text. Another way is to use DISPLAYED ITEM, changing its bevel to simulate button behaviour. Regards, Dima
