If this is the case, should I do a platform check first, like this?: <?lc -- ensure that we use the correct ‘return' character for this platform: if the platform is "Win32" then set the outputLineEndings to "crlf" else set the outputLineEndings to "lf" put "Hello World!" & return ?> Would that work on all 3 platforms? - sorry, I don’t have a Windows machine, so can’t test it! Many thanks for the ongoing assistance!
