Currently both the new line (\n) and the carriage return (\r) give the same
result.

#debug "test1\n"
#debug "test2\n"

Same result as
#debug "test1\r"
#debug "test2\n"

In WinPov 3.5 the second example would output 'test1' and then overwrite the
same line with 'test2'.
The carriage return (\r) was useful for updating the user during a long
process (mesh building).
