Enter & Preserve UNIX linefeeds on Mac OSX

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Ha. "binfile:" works

I think I asked this question and had it answered six months ago, but 
the answer slipped off the end of a gray whisker. Good case for 
documentation:

in the "See also" list for "return" add an item: "binfile" and

then in the write up for "binfile:" add:
======
The "binfile" keyword can also be used to block auto-translation of 
return constants to the platform specific return character(s) in a 
saved text file.  For example, if you are working on the Mac OS and 
want to save your text file so that linefeeds appear in the same places 
when viewed on a Unix machine, do this:

  replace numToChar(13) with numToChar(10) in tData
  put tData into URL "binfile:someFile.txt"
=======
