I think most Windows editors can handle text files that only use LF for ending lines. I'm using Windows 7, and for me, Notepad++, Komodo Edit, and Aptana/Eclipse all handle the web2py source files (which use LF without CR to end lines) just fine. The only Windows editor that appears to require CR/LF is Notepad. It probably makes sense to have the admin editor save with LF's only just to maintain consistency with the standard web2py files. For example, all the 'welcome' app files have LF's. If you happen to save one of the 'welcome' app files via the admin editor, it converts all the LF's to CR/LF's -- then some of your app's files have LF's, and some have CR/LF's. It's probably better to be consistent. Anthony
