Hi Anthony,
wiith the right front-end, there's no need to use parameters. For
instance, copy and paste the following into Query Analyzer and execute;
you'll see that the output has exactly the lline breaks yoou asked for:
CREATE TABLE test (KeyColumn int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
DataColumn varchar(1000) NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO test (KeyColumn, DataColumn)
VALUES (1, 'If your printer is no longer printing your logo''s or
overlays it may have lost the images that have been "Flashed" on to it,
to reflash your printer follow the following instructions.
Log on to SB Client and go into the Company Files section.
Next goto Runtime then Maintenance and System Manager Menu.')
go
SELECT * FROM test
go
DROP TABLE test
go
(Note: beware of extra line breaks inserted by Usenet software. In the
intended code, there are line breaks after the periods, but no other
line breaks in the VALUES clause.)

That, too, is a problem with your frontend.
May I ask you what tool you are using as your frontend?
