[Therion] Encoding Simpleton

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks Ladislav
I knew enough to know it was a LF/CR,LF issue, but not enough to know that
encoding would not affect it.  I'll try jEdit.

Hi,
your problem is connected to line endings not to character encoding.
Xtherion use LF as line end while Windows applications uses CR+LF. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

But it is possible edit this files also on Windows. You just need some
more intelligent plain text editor than notepad... or any other M$
software. For example multiplatform jEdit - www.jedit.org - line
ending is than detected automatically or you can set it manually.
