Heh, actually they're not (in the attachment).
I see that in the attachment, too - but this must be the result of some
conversion in the email transfer process (maybe already in my email
program, don't know). I'm relatively sure that when I attached the file
it was like I described.
Perhaps somebody else could test on Windows with a self-created file
with CR+LF newlines.
BTW, I also observed that the display/printing of the string within
gretl in the output window was fine. The phenomenon only occurred when
saving to a file.
