I did think of that, but used the longer form to make the
point more obvious :-)

If it was just a problem in programs, I wouldn't mind.
What I object to is the manual form of the process.

It's a moot point, anyway, since Billy (who suggested
this) seems to be coming round to the idea of newline
conversion in the client.
