Within VFP this will not be important, but if you write for other programs, or for the web, it may be crucial. Remember, IE and Firefox are file viewer in this case.

I prefer to be consistent, so I usually have the line #DEFINE CRLF CHR(13)+CHR(10) in my programs anyway, so the burden is not so heavy.
