Yes, I know, it just seems a little weird- text with no return function? I'm probably just used to notepad and similar programs.

You could easily write a class that did multi-line text. That's probably why it's not included in Pygame. All the text processing you need to do - centering text, word-wrap, etc. - are all things you do yourself in python, and you pass the text for each line after it's been processed to the font rendering. Part of the reason for this is probably because that's how SDL does it.

Re: [pygame] File Copying
Ian Mallett [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: So that would explain why .png didn't work, but then why did it work with .txt? Win32's file handling handles certain characters specially: 0xff is interpreted as an end-of-file marker, even if it occurs in the middle of the file, also carriage return/line feeds are parsed in a 'best guess' of what you might mean, as opposed to what's literally in the file. With text files, this tends to work out fine, though. You're not going to have weird non-printable characters interspersed in your file. With binary files (like graphics images, where all byte values need to be able to be represented), opening them in ASCII mode on Win32 will cause corruption if your file contains any of these special characters. However, this isn't really a pygame issue. -Dave LeCompte
