aloha,

If I download a file from the web to disk with this:
on mouseUp
  Ask file "Name your file."
  put URL (field "tURLtoDownLoad") into URL ("file:"&it)
  put the result into it
  answer it
end mouseUp

and open the file in BBEdit it will be rendered on screen as

line1
line2
line3
line4
 etc
and it will render also the same way if you import it into a supercard text
field BUT

 If I download it straight to a text field in MC:

on mouseUp
  put URL (field "tURLtoDownLoad") into fld tText
  put the result into it
  answer it
end mouseUp

it appears in the text field as

line1      line2     line3      line4    etc
with no line breaks

why is this? and how can I change the behaviour so the line breaks are
rendered on screen?
