That's odd.  Where are you getting this text, and how are you writing
it?

No, it's a line-endings matter.  That's different.  Text encodings are
most likely not involved here.

Part of the confusion here may be that Windows is a bit inconsistent
about what should be used for line endings.  Most controls (apart from
the edit field) use one thing, while files use another.  But
TextOutputStream defaults to the correct thing, so if you use WriteLine
to write a line, it should be followed by the right line ending for a
file.
