You can try the following:
SQL> ED
Wrote file afiedt.buf
  1  BEGIN
  2  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('ONE LINE...');
  3  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('SECOND LINE...');
  4  DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE;
  5  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('THIRD LINE WITH NEW LINE...');
  6  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('TEST');
  7  DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE;
  8  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('FOURTH LINE'||CHR(10)||'EXAMPLE');
  9  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(CHR(10));
10  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('FIFTH LINE');
11* END;
