Hello Vangelis,

yes, there is a way to do it. To quote section 5.1 'General information':
   ... parameter values can contain escaped octal characters ...

Although any trailing whitespace is removed during the configuration
file parsing, you can add a space as an escaped octal character.

Try this:
UsernamePrompt This is my User prompt:\040

Thanks,
Heikki
