Yup, this often depends upon the text editor being used. Some text editors are happy with simply only CR (chr 13) or LF (chr 10), while others seem to expect CR+LF sequence. I've run into situations where the text editor assumed that there was a LF following every CR -- so whenever you loaded text that was terminated with only CR it "ate" the first character on the next line. Once had a headache with an application that was generating LF+CR sequences that would confuse most text editors. Running TYPE to display the file wouldn't show anything unusual. Reading the text file in one text editor would show double-spaced lines, while another would show double-spaced lines with the first character missing from every line except the first.
