I did do that.
I found it quite convenient to declare a variable for the y-coordinate and then
subtract the scaled text size from it after every line of text.  Then all I had
to do was copy and paste both lines, which gave me all the text syntax I needed,
plus the "carriage return".

The problem is, even if I output a single variable to the screen, its value is
all bunched up on itself what appears to be horizontally.
I say appears to be, because when I started spacing the text and scaling it, I
got a weird effect where it appeared to increase the y-position as the text went
across the screen. - not a variable thing, because it all happened from text
contained inside a single concat directive.

Puzzling.
