Your problem stems from the fact that you are putting length-1 sequences
("\n") into a sequence, rather than atom values ('\n').

"\n" = {10}
'\n' = 10
"\r" = {13}
'\r' = 13

Section 2.1.2 ("Character Strings and Individual Characters") of REFMAN.DOC
deals with the differences between single-quoted and double-quoted chars.
