But there could be a problem with the application that will open that .csv file
next.

Some may see that linefeed character as an actually linefeed. Others would see
that character as part of the field.

Sure it does. Try opening excel, using the alt-enter suggested above in
a cell, then saving as csv. You just have to put "'s around the content
of the cell in the raw csv data. So """ABCD" & vbLF & "EFGH""" will
work.

You can't do that and save it as csv - I don't think csv supports line
breaks within fields...

If this question has already been asked somewhere, please let me know,
but...
I know that to start a new line in a CSV file you put "\n" in it, but
how do you start a new line within a cell?

Hopefully this is a dumb and easy question.
Thanks.
