That indicates that your file is stored with odd line endings.

Generally there are two styles of line ending, "Carriage Return" +
"Line Feed" CRLF which is used in MSDOS.  And simple Line-Feed (LF)
endings, used in Unix and now in Windows.

What Emacs does is to read the file and find out which sort of endings
are in use and automatically default to the right ones.  The problem
here is likely that you are saving the file with LF endings and
opening it again with ISE which uses CRLF endings.  Emacs doesn't
expect the endings to change as you edit the file.

The solution is probably to open and save the files initially using
CRLF endings.  So, to fix this open up your file using Emacs and type
C-x RET f "dos" RET.  Or select the menu Options->Mule->Set coding
systems->For Saving this Buffer.

Post again if doing the above doesn't work.
