That's not a newline, that's a carriage return. Two different things.
OS X automatically converts the two formats - which are used by
different computer operating systems - and some editors allow you to
do it manually. Windows uses a carriage return followed by a newline.
From nemo's guide, if you give a Plan 9 a Windows file, it would
look like
a(cr)
b
But if you give Windows a Plan 9 file, it would look like an a with a
b on top. OS X doesn't care.

I sent out went out with the little CR character and came back to
me with newlines. Just the sort of thing I did not want to have
happen. It's simple, I just think that what I paste should look
just like what I just cut. How else should it look?
