It is all relative. The LF can be seen (as you do) as "end of line" or as "new line". In the first case, all lines should end with "end of line". In the second, LF cuts one line from another.
When editing a text file, and requesting to place the cursor at end of file, with no LF at the end the cursor is placed after the last character somewhere to the right at the end of line. With an LF at the end, it is placed at the beginning of an empty line at the end.
I am not sure it is a M$ problem. Joey K Tuttle wrote: ...
Actually, it needs to be dealt with. Some programs produce files without a final end of line -- e.g. M$ Excel text files. I have never understood how they could do that with good conscience... - joey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
