Re: newline in string literal?

[Robert Bruce Findler <robby@cs.rice.edu>]

The one danger of that is that the "newline" in that string will be 
platform independent. If that is in a file loaded with `load', it 
will be the platform-specific newline (eg, CRLF sometimes, etc, etc) 
since `load' opens files in binary mode.

I just use (format "~n") myself.

Hope that helps.
