Yes, chr(13)+chr(10) also called CRLF (carriage return line feed) is the typical windows new line. In Excel cells you should use LF=Chr(10) only. In a vfp editbox value you can use both the CRLF combination or LF only. But typing [ENTER] in the editbox will create CRLF in the editbox value.

In Unix/Lunix CHR(10) only is typical. I often use WordPad instead of NotePad to read txt,php,html etc. files which come from there, because it can handle this. CR=Chr(13) alone is MAC specific. So you're not wrong, just using the wrong OS... ;-)
