Does anyone have a clever way to use write() and a multiline formatting
record such that the last line written NOT end in a carriage return?  Oh, I
could probably do  something with pipes or temp files, but I'd rather not.

If not, how *should* it be done, if the support were there?  Maybe a
trailing \c at the end of the record?  Oops -- that was usurped for
something else. Darn.  Other ideas?
