I need some sample text on the system clipboard that can have any of the three 
line ends. It's for testing code that will not run under BBEdit. The code being 
tested uses /usr/bin/pbpaste right now but may move to something out of the 
Cocoa framework later.

So I created a BBEdit document and scribbled in some text. I select all of the 
text and do an Edit_Copy.  I then execute my code with a command from a BBEdit 
worksheet.

I try three ways with DOS, Mac, and UNIX line ends selected using the box at 
the top of the edit window that allows such selections.

The output from my debugging code is consistent with a theory that BBEdit never 
puts those DOS line ends onto the clipboard.

Can that be true? Are the line ends always the same on the clipboard and 
changed only when a file is saved to disk? Is there any way to show invisibles 
in BBEdit that would indicate the actual line ends in vogue?
