How to show text when the text is a whole paragraph

I tried to use the "show text" command to show a whole paragraph of text. I kept getting error messages that suggested as soon as the text wrapped, the software was expecting a new command, not just more text. I suspect that there is some way to put all the text in the code in such a way that the software doesn't think the second line is a new command (perhaps just indenting the offending line?). Or, it may be possible to use the "include" command to include a text file of the paragraph and then use "show text" followed by the variable name for the text file. I assume one would need to upload the text file first. I seem to remember that there is some way to upload files, but now I can't find it. Thanks in advance for your help.
