I never talked about control chars. We were talking about line ending conversions. A typical scenario is needing to edit ini files for real users that are stored in a server.

You are doing this from Squeak?
It would seem to me to be more natural for the editing in Squeak to be of a single consistent line ending and then the export to your server into the line ending type required there.
Neither Mac nor Windows or anyone to my knowledge desire/require any line ending outside of their native default line ending. So I fail to see why this would be important in the editor and done better in the editor than in the export mechanism saving the edited text to a file whether local or network?
You simply never worked with cygwin under windows, nor transfered files edited in windows to QNX et vice et versa.
... nor checked a small change into SVN, and had 'svn diff' tell you that every line in the file had changed.
