Ah! At least one Wise Person is on duty today. Tried it. It does work.
You can't, apparently have a hard return within the style though.

This will work:

≪SSSIG,MD=NM; Good morning, and if I don't see you again today, Good
afternoon, and Goodnight, Truman Burbank≫

This won't:

≪SSSIG,MD=NM; Good morning, and if I don't see you again today, Good
afternoon, and Goodnight,Truman Burbank≫


But this will:

≪SSIG,MD=NM; Good morning, etc.,
