The Revolution formFeed is the ASCII form feed and is distinct from the 
others.
The Revolution LF (new) is the ASCII line feed.

The Revolution CR is not the ASCII carriage return but is the same as 
LF.
The Revolution return is not the ASCII carriage return but is the same 
as LF.

The Revolution tab is the same as the ASCII tab.
The Revolution null (new) is the same as the ASCII null.

The Revolution CRLF is the same as the ASCII CR LF sequence, but the 
first char is not the same as the Revolution CR.

The most acceptable word for the line end in Revolution seems to be 
return.  Some use CR because it is shorter.  The use of CR grates on my 
nerves.  I use LF which bothers some others especially in contexts 
where it is the Revolution line end and does not have a particular 
ASCII function.
