I cannot recollect the address of the thread where some user has posted how to display text in paragraph format, you are unable to display your long text in display.newText() object as there is only so much that one line can display.

This snippet of code breaks the string up into smaller pieces and display them together as a paragraph.

a little search on the forums should get you that code.

cheers,
