text in fields (CR/LF, CR, LF) which is correct?

[Bill Vlahos]

My understanding is that OS X will make either cr=return or linefeed 
depending on what application is generating it. Traditional MacOS 
application continue to make "return" while command line apps make 
linefeeds. I thought that Rev 1.1.x made returns but don't know about 
1.5.
