You could also do it this way:
theVar = "Line 1 text" +
"Line 2 text" +
"Line 3";
...although it's not likely you'd want it since the method Jay illustrated is less complex.

Can you make a multiline block of text a string variable, without
breaking it up?
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO (gives me a "unterminated string literal"
error):
theVar = "Line 1 text
Line 2 text
Line 3
";
WHAT I AM FORCED TO DO:
theVar = "Line 1 text
";
theVar += "Line 2 text
";
theVar += "Line 3 text
";
Thanks so much for any clarification.

You can use a backslash IIRC
theVar = "Line 1 text
\
Line 2 text
\
Line 3
";
