≪If by "newline" you mean the arrow in a red box that you get when you enter control-
Enter on the commandline, it sure doesn't find any ascii 10's for me! I'm using XyDos
4.016. [ ... ] Could you tell us your version number and *exactly* what you put up on the
command line?≫ --Harry Binswanger 
 Harry: Hope this clarifies it. It's there somewhere in the manuals, xyDos 3 and 4. As I
said, v4 makes it lots easier than v3. Newline is the programming term for the combo ascii
13/10--you come across it in many contexts as escape \n or /n. In a discussion of line
endings the char is more accurately called that than "carriage return," which is only half
of the standard dos line ending. Typographically, a carriage return moves the action to
the left margin, a linefeed advances the medium. My first xyWrite disappointment was
finding that in printing it didn't provide for carriage return, no linefeed. It takes some
mastery of the PostScript language to get such typographic niceties out of xyWrite. ...
