Hi David,
The problem is that Unix based operating systems such as Mac OS, Linux,
BSD, etc don't use the same line feed character in ascii text files that
MS Windows text editors like notepad and wordpad use. To correct the
problem you need a terminal app called
unix2dos
which will convert the Mac OS text file to the Windows text file
standard. There also is a terminal app called
dos2unix
which reverses the process. I don't know if these two utilities ship
with Mac OS by default, but they should be obtainable.

When I wrote a document in text edit and save it as text, if I bring it up
in notepad under windows, the lines are all messed up. any way to avoide
this, it happens in word with rtfs too.
