Ahhh - my mistake. You open your file in binary mode - open it in text mode instead and the '\n' will be translated to '\n\r' (carriage return and line feed).
I do most of my coding on AIX / Unix where only the Newline is required, so that was the first thing I looked for... you're on Windows where an end of line is marked via a CR + LF.
