Joe,
I'm writing it out as a TextOutPutStream:
ts=f.CreateTextFile
ts.Write(s)
ts.Close
...where I've constructed the 's' similarly:
s="a line"+chr(13)+"more text", etc.
I tried chr(10) instead to no avail as well as other things.
(I haven't tried writing by line tho.)
I'm opening it in the Windows system default plain text editor
(whatever it's called - I can't recall), and I created the RB
application on a Macintosh.
As an exercise I saved some text in BBEdit and moved it to windows to
try and one thing that did work there was saving with DOS line
breaks. I guess UNIX line breaks would do the same thing too. But I
just can't seem to be able to do this from within an RB application
(RB 2006 4).

My application writes good text files when compiled as a Macintosh

That's odd. Where are you getting this text, and how are you writing
it?
I suppose this is a text encoding matter
No, it's a line-endings matter. That's different. Text encodings are
most likely not involved here.
