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.
