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
