This is a far cry better than what used to happen to Japanese text in previous versions. If you are still in doubt of your settings, another text editor like TEX-Edit will show the mac normal view of lines terminated with linefeeds (Unix) ,creturn+linefeeds(windows), and creturns(mac). Though BBEdit always seems to do what you tell it to do, even if it doesn't make a lot of noise about it. Jim Cooper.
