You can use echo's "-e" option to convert \n into real newlines.

given it's bash you can also just let the line cross multiple lines.

Code:
VAR="this
is
a
really
tall
variable"

XmOptionButtonGadget(library call)										XmOptionButtonGadget(library call)

NAME

       XmOptionButtonGadget -- A RowColumn function that obtains the widget ID for the CascadeButtonGadget in an OptionMenu

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmOptionButtonGadget(
       Widget option_menu);

DESCRIPTION

       XmOptionButtonGadget  provides  the  application with the means for obtaining the widget ID for the internally created CascadeButtonGadget.
       Once the application has obtained the widget ID, it can adjust the visuals for the CascadeButtonGadget, if desired.

       When an application creates an instance of the OptionMenu widget, the widget creates two internal gadgets. One is  a  LabelGadget  that	is
       used  to  display RowColumn's XmNlabelString resource.  The other is a CascadeButtonGadget that displays the current selection and provides
       the means for posting the OptionMenu's submenu.

       The user can specify resources in a resource file for the automatically created widgets and gadgets of an OptionMenu.  The  following  list
       identifies the names of these widgets (or gadgets) and the associated OptionMenu areas.

       Option Menu Label Gadget
		 OptionLabel

       Option Menu Cascade Button
		 OptionButton

       option_menu
		 Specifies the OptionMenu widget ID

       For a complete definition of RowColumn and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).

RETURN

       Returns the widget ID for the internal button.
