I haven't used TextEdit in years, so I'm not sure what options it has 
for setting line endings.  I tend to edit text in LC or a variety of 
Linux tools, all which use the Unix convention of ASCII 10 for line endings.

Let's find out if that's the issue first.  Does it work if you save the 
file out of a field with binfile?

If so, it may be useful to note the line ending requirement.  Where is 
that documentation?
