<div> Nancy,</div>

<div> I have done both - but I do typically use the export ascii f=, r=\n type export/import - have only done a few -x ones but</div>
<div> have always used the r=\n, probably because I just assumed you had to and never really read all the manual details on the</div>
<div> -x option haha</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Glad it seems you have it working now though</div>

That is what it seemed to do but not when I did not send at least one CR or LF. When my data just was text it provided no CR/LF ending. That was my complaint.<br>

able to test this at the moment, but I would think that this would give you CR<br>then CR LF (oa od oa). If it says that the record delimiter is a new line by<br>default, then it sounds like the documentation should be updated to reflect the<br>
fact that you need to specify the r=\n to get the newline.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Jeff Harrison<br><a href="mailto:jeffaharrison@yahoo.com" target="_blank">jeffaharrison@yahoo.com</a><br></font>
