You can put the strings into a cell array of strings, like this:

helpdlg({'Line 1', 'Line 2 is followed by an empty line', '', 'Last line'}, 'Help Me')

You can use sprintf:

helpMessage = sprintf('Line 1\nLine 2 is followed by an empty line\n\nLast line');
uiwait(helpdlg(helpMessage));  % uiwait makes it wait for user to click OK before it continues.
