Good. Chr(13) + chr(10) is the standard combination for end-of-line in Windows and DOS; unfortunately, other systems use other combinations. For Excel Automation, I had to use chr(10) only, if I remember correctly - the chr(13) shows up as a big ugly rectangle.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
