Beginner Applet Question

Hello. I had to write a simple applet and draw a string onto a canvas as a grphics object. I was able to do this, however, the \n did not create a new line. So, I got around the issue by creating multiple strings to the canvas (i.e. totalDisplay1, 2, and 3).

However, I thought that I'm probably just missing something basic that would allow me to print multiple lines using one string. FYI, we have to use the older awt coding. Thanks for your time. My code follows below ...

//This applet prompts the user to select either bread, eggs, or milk
//then the quantity ordered is used to determine the total price to be charged.
