Prasad's system is correctly sending the "right" order (DOS line-ends are CR+LF = \r\n, not the other way around). However, it might be that there is no CR+LF on the last line, or that one line is missing the CR, so your viewer heuristic (vim does this) thinks it has Unix NL-only line-endings and shows the ^M on all the lines that have the CR. All for one stray line without. Prasad's email came through cleanly here (gmane + Thunderbird). -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
