I am using a command line port of povray to Mac OS X. When I use \n or
\r in text{...} I get a square box and an exclamation mark respectively,
instead of a new line of text. Any ideas please?

Those characters are not supported by the text object. You will have to 
use multiple text objects, one per line.

Sorry. Makes sense. I was reading the wrong section of the
documentation, thinking it was for the text command. *<:-(
