I assume you are saving in Mac format on the NeXT. The following corrects  
just for line breaks and works for my TeXing purposes.

Put 
	alias mac2unix  "tr '\015' '\012'"
	alias unix2mac  "tr '\012' '\015'"

in your .cshrc file. Then use the command
mac2unix <macfilename> unixfilename
and the obvious reverse direction.  Then when in Writenow, open the file  
as text only, but save as text only with line breaks.  I think that's it.
