	Absolutely nothing!  That square box is the character that resides in
the LF slot in most/all fonts.  Remember that the Mac does NOT know about LF's
it is a foreign concept.  A line break on the Mac is a CR.  If you want hard
wrapped lines in TE instead of the standard soft-wrapped, you can try chaning
the crOnly fieldof the TERec.

	The MacWrite file format is available from Claris and Word's from
MicroSoft.

	ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND - As per a recent Apple Tech Note - TEXTEDIT
IS NOT A WORD PROCESSOR!!
