It’s been awhile since I coded in xojo and I’m stuck on something that seems really basic. How do I do a carriage return in the textarea?

For example, if I run this code:

`for i as integer = 0 to 10
textarea1.appendtext "hello world"
next`

It runs them all together. How would I get it to do each hello world on it’s own line.

`for i as integer = 0 to 10
textarea1.appendtext "hello world"+endOfLine
next`
