Hi Dennis, No there is no way to specify your end-of-lines to be cross-platform as expects different characters to act as an end of line. Yes, you can easily have your friend read your text file edited on a mac on a PC. Different end of line conversion programs can also be found for each platform. For instance, if my memory is exact, the excellent Notetab light (http://www.notetab.com/ntl.php) does that for you. Alternatively, you can use a similar utility on your machine and save your file in PC format.
