I don't use a command line editor because ssh does not allow me to track it. It doesn't matter what app I use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 9:33 AM Subject: Re: User agent 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?
