The problem you're encountering here is that Win32, Macs (classic version) and Unix
interpret line endings differently.
Macs use CR, Unix uses LF and DOS CR/LF.
So, when using files across platform, you have to save the file with the appropriate
line breaks for the system you're using which, in this case, being Mac OS X, LF.
