Background: Squeak by default considers a CR (ascii 16r0D) to end a 
line. So if your text ends lines with CR/LF (redundant, but 
unfortunately common on MS-DOS-derived systems), you'll see the 
second and subsequent lines starting with a LF character (ascii 
16r0A).

Anyway, to answer the second part of your question, you could do one 
of the following (assuming it's a newline that you see):

* use the CrLfFileStream instead of FileStream

* just discard the character manually (if you know that it's going to 
be a LF):
	line = stream nextLine.
	stream next.
