Traditional UNIX endlines are \n. In Windows, they are \r\n. You may need to tack on the \r\n for notepad to see them correctly (Wordpad always behaves as it should, seeing the \n as meaning a new line). Even if you open them up in Wordpad and save them again, they will not modify the newlines. There are some flukes with getting notepad to read UNIX newlined text files. Sometimes it will appear overlapped, othertimes you might see boxes. If you save something with a .wri extension, wordpad will be (by default) associated with it for opening because it's the old Windows Write extention. Hope that helps
