User agent

[David Poehlman]

I don't use a command line editor because ssh does not allow me to track it.
It doesn't matter what app I use.

It looked scrambled because unixish systems only terminate lines with
Ctrl-J, whereas DOS/Windows requires CtrlJ plus Ctrl-M. Macintosh, by
the way, only uses Ctrl-M Since Notepad is so stupid (and you insist on
continuing to use it), covert it first with:

unix2dos [filename]

When you're done:

dos2unix [filename]

But, why aren't you just editing from the command line with vim, or
emacs, or nano, or something?
