Also, I believe the unix newline character has an ASCII value, right? I
believe it's 10.
so, instead of:
> set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " -- that should be a line
feed
You could say:
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (ASCII character 10)

However, the PHP needs UNIX line breaks to read the text file
correctly. I can change the file in BBEDIT with no problem and could
even AppleScript BBEDIT to make the change for me. If possible though,
I would like to be able to do this without BBEDIT - not knocking the
application, BBEDIT rocks!
One way would be with text item delimiters - if the file isn't too
large.
set filRef to (open for access theFlie with write permission)
try
set theTxt to (read filRef)
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set txtLst to every text item of theTxt as list
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " -- that should be a
line feed
--character in the quotes. Eudora has converted it to a space
set theTxt to txtLst as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
set eof filRef to 0
write theTxt to filRef starting at eof
close access filRef
