This is all that hackers guide says about it
If you choose to convert the dBASE IV file, a follow-up dialog prompts you to strip the "soft returns" from the memo fields. Soft returns are CHR(141)'s that dBASE added into a file to do word wrap. Select Yes only in those cases where text is stored in this field—always answer No if the memo field contains binary data.
