Or use a normal field as Craig suggested and create soft-wrapped lines
by inserting ASCII 11 at line breaks. These select as normal lines but
visually appear as separate lines.
From the 5.5 release notes:
The engine will now interpret a numToChar(11) character in a field
paragraph as an explicit line-
break when the (effective) dontWrap of the paragraph is false. This
allows multiple ‘lines’ to be
displayed within a single paragraph.

Or perhaps use a form type datagrid - which will allow you to present
and select multi-lined option more readily.

Hi.
If I were you, with the task you laid out, I would not use an
option menu.
It is not good with wide menuItems, and it is not natural, if even
possible,
to select multiple lines in the way you want.
Use a list field instead. A field has many properties that are
denied an
optionMenu, which is really just a button.
You can have multiple lines selected, by trapping "mouseUp", say,
and with
the clickLine, select the following line as well. Or the following
five. Or
the previous. That sort of thing. A field just is far more able in
this
regard.
