It sounds to me like you might have an additional trailing return after the
text. The reason I say this is that in my simple test, it works as expected.
Here's what I did:

1) Create a field
2) Put three lines of text into the field (the last line I did *not* hit a
return after; I typed "Ken" <return> "Rob" <return> "Pete"). This gave me:

   Ken
   Rob
   Pete

3) I then opened the message box and typed:

  delete last line of field 1

My field now shows:

   Ken
   Rob

4) I then typed into the message box:

  put return & "Joe" after field 1

and my field now shows:

   Ken
   Rob
   Joe

This is what you're looking for, right? If you're not getting this in your
own field, I think there's an extra return character at the end. You can
check it by typing into the message box:

  put (last char of field 1 = return)

If you get "true", you've got an extra return; if you get "false", you
don't.

Sorry, Revolution automatically indents code and you can't easily override
it. (The reason I say "easily" is that the Revolution IDE is written in
Revolution, so when you become proficient you can edit the script of the
Script Editor and change it to your heart's content.)

My question would be though - what is it about Rev's indentation that
doesn't work for you?

Also, BTW, you don't need to close and reopen the script to see your script
indented; you can type the <tab> key while inside a handler and it will
reformat/reindent the handler.
