I have recently discovered that Open Office Writer apparently has the same bad habit as nano does; it seems to decide on its own to append carriage returns at the end of lines, even when they are explicitly not entered. There are some scripts I use which get completely discombobulated when they see <CR> where they're not expecting it.
Is there any option-setting that would eliminate this? I've gone all through the HELP screens and can find nothing. BTW Midnight Commander's text editor does *not* append unasked-for carriage returns. The wider question, which may well be exposing my ignorance, is why would we *ever* want any editor to add things we didn't ask for? Sometimes I *really* miss the Reveal Codes feature of Word Perfect:-) Brewster Gillett -- ****************************************************************** W.
