Poke a Shell Variable with xTalk?

Well I thought:
replace numToChar (13) with numToChar (10) accomplishes this.
Indeed it does if I write a file to the hard drive and have some Nix
program open and read it... end-of-lines are recognized (they are not
if you don't change char (13) to char (10)
But, the anomaly here is that
replace numToChar (13) with numToChar (10) in tMsg
put tMsg into $DailyEmail
set the shellcommand to "bin/sh"
put "echo $DailyEmail" | sendmail [etc.] into tCmd
put shell(tCmd)
the result is empty (i.e. Send mail is accepting the input)
But the email we get is "bogus"... the entire text of the msg is
poked into the subject line...
i.e. no end lines are being sent to StnOut from Echo... and whether
or not I leave them as ASCII 13 or Change them to ASCII 10.. there
result is the same: no line delimiter is recognized at all.
So "echo" is not echoing the ends of lines...no matter what they are...
I don't think this will change by declaring them as constant NAMES
"LINEFEED" but I will try.
replace numToChar (13) with CLRF in tMsg # also doesn't make any
difference. .. everything still on one line.
