If you want multiple lines, try mon.print "test" you may or may not need parenthesis, I rarely work with monitors.

mon.write("textn")
n means newline in lua.

I have this issue too, never figured out how to solve...

Nor does n /n or *angryrage*

Any other ideas?
EDIT: Found it! mon.setCursorPos(1,[nextline]) with move it to what ever line [nextline] is, and writing will apear there.

NOTE: you must replace nextline, its no magic.

Put this before your code...
THEN remove the mon. before ALL the writes, then replace the writes with print()
Insert the code below above your code. That should redirect text to the TOP monitor!
- I got the code off of this forum, it's not mine :3.

local side = "top"  -- change this
if peripheral.getType(side) ~= "monitor" then
    print("No monitor on that side")
    return -- Neatly exits the program
else
    local monitor = peripheral.wrap(side)
    term.redirect(monitor)
end

Pic of screen? Does it give error?
Try doing multiple lines?
mon.write("Textn")
mon.write("Textn")

i already tried that

Okay..
Then just do

term.redirect(mon)
print("text")
print("text")
term.restore()

My apologies. I assumed it worked the same as on the terminals, just blown up. Argue amongst yourselves, I don't know enough about monitors, apparently.
