I believe that the you can get around this by diddling with the settings 
during transfer.  I suspect your problems are due to CR/LF versus NL kinds
of things.  As a result, you many need to diddle on both ends.  I've forgotten
if RR has a "Add a newline to the end of each line" option or not.  This is
probably what you need to do (or something like it).  I'm sure there's someone
out there who can provide info...
