However, you might find success in a different approach -- instead of
storing lots of CR- or CRLF-delimited lines of text, try saving them as
individual entries in a single list. Save the _list_ to the text file
(using myList.string) and read it back with value(myListStr).  CRLF woes
disappear this way.

Hope this helps,
Rob
