Mark -
	I had this same problem until I realized that the Unix
system doesn't use CR at all, only LF.  Therefore if you discard LFs
leaving only CRs you wind up with everything on one line!
	When talking to Unix systems, you must map LF to CR instead
of dumping them.  Just remember that if you do this on systems that
use CRLF for EOL this mapping will doublespace your text.
	I hope this helps.

P.S. Don't forget that Kermit's Text transfers handle all this
automagically!
