I don't know if you still need the answer to this question as you asked it so long ago, but in RealBasic you should use the 'EndOfLine' keyword to add a carriage return to a string.

For example:

a = "hello" + EndOfLine + "there"

This way RealBasic will use the correct codes dependant on if it is running on Windows or Linux and you do not need to check what the host OS is.

Hope this helps.
