How to put multiple of lines of text on a button or label widget.

Buttons and Labels on input screens and menus can use html to enhance the
text.  Enter the html code in the Label or Button text field in the object
property(ies).  Example; <html>Request<br>Ship Date will be displayed on two
lines.


----------------
|              |
|  Request     |
|  Ship Date   |
|              |
----------------

 

The caveat is that the individual lines delineated by the <br> formatting 
may not obey all the label's gui settings, CENTER for example.  


In the case of CENTER the justification is applied to all lines at though 
there all the length of the longest segement.  You can revised the html tag 
to center each line of the label as follows;

<html><p align="center">Request<br>Ship Date
