Hi!

It comes from the deep dark times of MSDOS programs and MSDOS files. When they;re printed to printer, it required 2 codes: CR - Carriage Return (code 13) - to move to the first position in the line, and LF - Line Feed (code 10) - to move to next line (scroll 1 line printer paper). Without LF code printer continue printing in the same line overriding text of previous line.

Some text processors and text editors currently are very picky to this requirement and recognize only combination of CRLF codes. Most systems, however, recognize all combinations: CR, LF, CRLF and LFCR as the end of the line. VFP memo field is not that picky.

HTH.
