That will not cause problems. They are only indicators from keysoft to the user; if you go into keyword and type an ed sign followed by a p, keysoft will not insert a new line, even if it looks like the same symbol. Think of them as one-way streets; they tell you what is going on, but you cannot use them to tell keysoft what is going on except by using the actual commands (enter for new line, space-p for new page, and all those).
In short, porting the files will not be a problem. By the way, these indicators are in fact used in all file types, and even in emails and on webpages.
