  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

on mouseup
    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 
வேண்டுமே[snip]

on mouseup
    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
end mouseup
