Well my baasic point is that you should focus on learning what normal
means on MacOSX Tiger, and not bother learning a what was normal on the
older system 9.

Got it! Thanks. Good advise.
To that end, I've just ordered two Unix books, including "Learning Unix
for Mac OS X Tiger" (an O'Reilly Publication) by Dave Taylor.
Any relation? :-D

It could use fixed-length lines of e.g. 200 characters. Writing a "\n"
pads with spaces; reading a line strips trailing spaces and inserts a
virtual "\n".
