Do Batch files support multiline variables

Question

If so How?

Yes, batch files are lame, but I cannot use powershell, and I don't feel like writing a real app to do this simple task....

edit

What i want is somthing along the lines of

set var="this is a 
multi 
line 
string "

Answer 1

Is that ok?

@echo off
set var=kur
set var2=kur2
echo var is = "%var%" and var2 is = %var2%

edit
is that what you mean ?

@echo off
set nl=^& echo.
echo this%nl%is%nl%multiline%nl%string
