Hmmm... I was using chr(10) chr(13) at first, but that was giving me two funny squares in Notepad. Someone here suggested that Notepad has trouble with that character sequence and only requires the carriage return. If I take them both out I get no funny characters, but no line breaks either :) It only seems to happen in Notepad, which is what most of the users will probably be using. Argh...
