Try to type the following:

"echo '" & <shift>+<enter> & <shift>+<enter> & "' | hd | less"

Let & be the concatenation operator, text in double quotes is to be 
entered verbatim.

For me, it seems that <shift>+<enter> is a nice way to enter a "\n" 
string without executing the command. Very useful.
