I think this is a different problem than detecting line endings. On 
Macs, you can check the creator and type of the files to see if they 
were created by MS Word or BBEdit. On Windows, you can check for the 
".doc" extension to see if it is a Word file.

To get the Mac file creator and type, use "the detailed files" (see 
"files" in the dictionary). The last item of the detailed files is the 
Mac creator and type codes.
