I'm slowly learning Scheme.  I general a <LF> is a decimal 10 or 0x0A in
the ASCII collating sequence.  In the Nix world you can use an \n to
represent it.

Try changing:  "For Period Covering %s to %s"

               To:  "\nFor Period Covering %s to %s"


Or do a search for "linefeed in Scheme".  Scheme may need a way for you
to escape the escape sequence.  Don't know.
