doh!
Thanks to all that sent help on this. Of course, I knew what was needed,
but was trying to do it with "\n" or something similar. Too much PERL
recently, i guess.
I changed the relevant line to this and all appears to be working well.
write [sometext here] & return & (ASCII character 10) to fileRef
Thanks again,
Jonathan
