Hi,

I am working on a project that uses a TI Explorer and a Mac to communicate
with an external device (a robot) and for that I had to implement my own
serial IO interface on the Mac (in MACL).  When doing that I found out that
the TI, when reading a line from the serial port with read-line, consumes
the character #\Newline and also the character #\Linefeed that follows it.
The Mac's read-line, on the other hand, doesn't.  The definition of the function
read-line is to read until a #\Newline is encountered.  
My question is, what is happening on the TI behind the scenes that causes
the #\Linefeed to be consumed?  Is the definition of the read-line function
on the TI different than on the Mac?

Thanks,
