Peter,

What's the difference between

lcC = "a" + ccCRLF + "b" + ccCRLF + "c" + ccCRLF + ""

and

lcC = "a" + ccCRLF + "b" + ccCRLF + "c" + ccCRLF

The only way to indicate an empty line is to append crlf as in

lcC = "a" + ccCRLF + "b" + ccCRLF + "c" + ccCRLF + "" + ccCRLF

or

lcC = "a" + ccCRLF + "b" + ccCRLF + "c" + ccCRLF + ccCRLF
