Carriage Return Inside A Field Of Text Data Type?

how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?

say i want to put the following inside a field:
firstline
secondline

how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it?
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'

the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines

i tried doing
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'

but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline

thanks
