Escaping \n

Greetings:

We are moving our application from 7.4.14 to 8.3.1. One giant step for 
mankind...
Anyay, I have several triggers that update notes fields in certain tables and 
loading the trigger function is giving me the following error:

psql:bill/bill_preupd_func.plsql:83: WARNING:  nonstandard use of escape in a 
string literal
LINE 1: ...OR REPLACE FUNCTION bill_preupd_func () RETURNS TRIGGER AS '
                                                                      ^
HINT:  Use the escape string syntax for escapes, e.g., E'\r\n'.

The problem is a line like 'UPDATE bill SET notes = 'blah, blah, yea\nmore 
stuff';

How to I escape the newline embeded in the string? I've tried the advice from 
HINT, but have been unable to get it to work.

Thanks...

Thanks...
