#\newline is not a real character but something that behaves differently depending on your operating system. Some operating systems recognize end-of-line as two characters (for example carriage-return and linefeed) while some others recognize end-of-line as a single character (linefeed). #newline is the standard CL kludge because of this lack of standards for end-of-lines. In other word, as far as EOL is concerned, the same datafile can be read differently by the same CL code on two different operating systems.
