Internally, "cr" and "return" both signify the Unix line ending (ASCII 10,
or linefeed).  Macs use ASCII 13, which is the true "return" character, and
Windows uses return+linefeed (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10).

When reading or writing a file as text, the enginew does line-ending
translation automatically.  But within the program, line endings use the
Unix convention.
