Namaste, Slava:
I tried that too, but I lose all the CR's...I get one long line in the
LiveCode field, but if I paste it here into the email the CRLF's come back!
Or if I copy from Pages.. the CR's are preserved...
If I try to process the CR in the usual way, I get them back in the
field but the text becomes garbled again

answer file "Choose the Unicode for this song" with "OK"
put url ("binfile:/" & it) into tUnicode
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodetext of fld "Unicode_Script" to tUnicode
end mouseup
# THE FOLLOWING IS A SINGLE LINE IN THE LC FIELD:
Converted from மயிலை text in
/Users/sivakatirswami/Documents/Tamil/Natchintanai in Unicode/3 Thannai
Thannaal.txt தன்னைத்தன்னால்தன்னைத் தன்னால் அறிந்திட வேண்டுமேதானா யெங்குஞ் செறிந்திட

answer file "Choose the Unicode for this song" with "OK"
put url ("binfile:/" & it) into tUnicode
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodetext of fld "Unicode_Script" to tUnicode
replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in fld "unicode_Script"
# the above line restores the line breaks but destroys the text...
or rather, converts it to some other encoding displays Japanese characters
