The information in lccode is pulled from a memo field in which text from a default batch file was either typed or cut and pasted. It has the code that should be placed into a batch file on the user's system and two variables will be replaced (IMPORTPATH and IMPORTFILE). The below is the only way it seems to format it correctly in the batch file when it is created:

M.Handle=FCREATE("\accuwin\sc\vendor\proaccu.bat")
IF M.Handle <> -1		&& file created
	=FPUTS(M.Handle,"@ECHO OFF")
	PRIVATE IMPORTPATH
	PRIVATE IMPORTFILE
	IMPORTPATH=ALLTRIM(Bg_Accuwin)
	IMPORTFILE="ACCUWIN.TXT"
	PRIVATE lcline
	lcline=""
	FOR i = 1 TO LEN(lccode)
		IF ASC(SUBSTR(lccode,i,1))=13 .OR. ASC(SUBSTR(lccode,i,1))=10
			IF ASC(SUBSTR(lccode,i,1))=13
				lcline=lcline+CHR(13)+CHR(10)
			ENDIF
		ELSE
			lcline=lcline+SUBSTR(lccode,i,1)
		ENDIF
	ENDFOR
	lcLine = STRTRAN(lcline,"<<IMPORTPATH>> <<IMPORTFILE>>",IMPORTPATH+IMPORTFILE,1)
	lcLine = STRTRAN(lcline,"<<IMPORTPATH>><<IMPORTFILE>>",IMPORTPATH+IMPORTFILE,1)
	=FPUTS(m.handle,lcline)
	=FCLOSE(m.handle)
ELSE

>Y'know Tracy, I'm still real curious about that IF (ASC(... line. should one side of the .OR. say "ASC(SUBSTR(lccode,i,1))=10" instead of "=13" on both sides?

>>>When I step through your code, it does work. However, you are not storing the result of STRTRAN to anything if that is your intention.
