It looked scrambled because unixish systems only terminate lines with Ctrl-J, whereas DOS/Windows requires CtrlJ plus Ctrl-M. Macintosh, by the way, only uses Ctrl-M Since Notepad is so stupid (and you insist on continuing to use it), covert it first with: unix2dos [filename] When you're done: dos2unix [filename] But, why aren't you just editing from the command line with vim, or emacs, or nano, or something?
