Instead of "\n" (LineFeed), you must use "\r\n" (CarriageReturn-LineFeed).
This is a DOS hangover. Do you (or anyone else) think that the library
should automatically convert single LF into CRLF? It would make life a bit
easier when reading text files with Euphoria and then sending the lines to
a MleText control.
