I'm trying to get the system to execute a carriage return after "write(user.alias)" (ie: "write(user.alias) [CR]". I've tried \r, \r\n, with or without parenthesis, brackets, double quotes, single quotes, +, & and in various places in the line.

What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I'm a novice, but I eagerly want to learn.

There are probably many ways to skin that cat, but "writeln" might do the trick, ie: writeln(user.alias)

Yes, writeln() will write the string plus a "new-line" sequence (which is actually CR/LF). If you really just want a bare-CR (why?), then:
write(user.alias + '\r')
would do that.

Tried that in multiple scenarios, but it either wouldn't execute the carriage return or it would give me various errors (syntax, illegal character, & etc.).

Tried that too. No bueno.

----------------------------------

I tested it on a different script and both writeln and + '\r' worked so I'm suspect there is another factor involved preventing me from getting the desired result.

Back to the drawing board!

Unusual - I know the command works, I use it all the time :)

Perhaps there is something else going on?

Can you elaborate? It certainly sounds like you just mistyped something.
