   Yes, you are all quite right.  ^J is a line feed.  I had a memory crash.
As I had said, the problem is that on the DOS machine (286) the file is fine, 
but after using kermit (ascii mode) the transfer the file to the rainbow, 
the file is one long line, with ^J where the newlines where on the DOS machine.
is the ^J the newline character for a DOS machine?  maybe that is the problem.
