Different operating systems recognise new lines in different ways.
Some use the CR (carriage return) character (ASCII decimal code 13, I think), some use the LF (Line Feed) character (ASCII decimal code 10) and some, like Windows, use the CR+LF combination, two characters
If you feed a CRLF combination to a system expecting just one character, you will get TWO new lines, resulting in a blank line.
