A reasonable practice is to use 'return' for the Revolution new-line  
character (there is no NL constant in Revolution) and 'LF' in ASCII  
communication even though they are encoded the same.  I use LF for  
both, perhaps to the annoyance of those who adhere to that reasonable  
practice.  In the movie Tron is an old assembler program represented by  
a teletype machine--that's me.  The name "return" sounds too much like  
the name of the ASCII carriage return for me to feel comfortable using  
it.

I apologize for the confusion in the use of LF
