I may have found a way to implement a construction that functions like 
the heredoc-construction. It begins with >ID and ends with ID: ID is an 
identifier that you can chose yourself (can ofcourse not occur in the 
text-data).
Example:
app(id=!MyApp start=!MyWindow)
{
window(id=!MyWindow size=[300,200] caption='My Window')
{
button(id=!MyButton1 location=[10,10] size=[50,20] caption='Close 1');
button(id=!MyButton2 location=[70,10] size=[50,20] caption='Close 2');

event(for=!MyWindow type=!OnClosing id=!MyWindow_Close);
event(for=[!MyButton1,!MyButton2] type=!OnClick id=!MyButtonX_Click);
}

procedure(id=!MyButtonX_Click params='object sender')
{ > PROCEDURE_MYBUTTONX_CLICK
if sender = MyButton1 then
wPuts(MyWindow, "Clicked MyButton1, closing...")
elsif sender = MyButton2 then
wPuts(MyWindow, "Clicked MyButton2, closing...")
end if
closeWindow(MyWindow)
PROCEDURE_MYBUTTONX_CLICK
}

procedure(id=!MyWindow_Close params='object sender')
{ > PROCEDURE_MYWINDOW_CLOSE
wPuts(MyWindow, "You can't see this because the window is closing.")
PROCEDURE_MYWINDOW_CLOSE
}
}
