The subject line says "Mac vs Unix" but I wonder if AppleScript's paragraph elements are agnostic to the two other Unicode line endings? which are neither DOS, nor Unix, nor Mac. I have not seen them in practice but. . .

Will change line ends in place using drag and drop but they don't, yet, handle the Unicode thingies.
