= SUMMARY =

The Transfer Send Text option for sending ASCII files removes linefeed (LF) characters when the file is sent.

Works depends on the receiving communications package to attach a linefeed (LF) character to each carriage-return (CR) character it receives. The receiving communications package must have this capability for the received text to have the CR/LF combinations in the file.

If the host machine you are sending to does not attach linefeed characters, use the Transfer, Send File (Transfer, Send Protocol in Works 1.x) option for sending files. This option is primarily used for sending binary (formatted) files, but can also be used to send text files. It sends the file without the alterations to the CR/LF pair.
