I use NT 4--not that I'm so very fond of it--and I had so many odd little
problems with Notepad that I banished it from my machine. I found PFE
(Programmer's File Editor) to be a far superior choice across the board.
Pertinent to your problem is that PFE is knowledgable of line termination
sequences in both DOS and Unix. I haven't used Wi that much yet, so I
cannot comment on any possible problems there.
I would suggest trying the same things you were doing, only with PFE
instead of Notepad, and see if it helps. If not, well, you've at least
eliminated one possible source of the problem.
You can get PFE for free from:

Ok, I got into thinking about this. Here's whats happening.
I realised I Can open a file in DOS edit, and it shows the IBM/ASCII
characters. So I opened the file I was trying to insert the line into
and at the end of that line, and only that line, there is just a carriage
return.
Any Idea why when I inserted "\r\l" it is only placing "\r"?
So I also opened up files Ive been editing using WI, and every line ends in
a carriage return. The little musical symbol in dos edit. When a normal
text
file Ive edited using notepad, or even dos edit shows no end of line
characters
at all. Even if I add one right then, it isnt shown?
Has anyone else noticed a problem like this? Maybe something is wrong
just
on my setup. Anyone have any suggestions what I might do to fix this?
Thanks,
(and sorry for writing yet again... still getting used to Icon.)
