it doesn't understand FUDI.
however, you can send it a list of unicode-points via the "string" 
message, e.g. [string 112 56 116 101 114(

if it encounters a linefeed (ascii: 10), it will break the line:
[string 108 228 116 101 114 10 112 56 116 101 114(

you can also use the normal [text( (or [list() messsage and add a "\n" 
manually (e.g. generated with [makefilename %c]).

like in the attached patch.
