I try to add line breaks to a series of strings given by the particpants.

This actually does what I want:

/ ontrialend = [values.responsestring=concat(concat(values.responsestring,"(~n) -"),openended.enterword.response)]

however I do not want the paranthesis in the values variable. If I remove the paranthesis, inquisit tells me that there is an unmatched parathesis.
