This string depends on what your operating system is: on Unix systems it is the ascii character 10; on Macintoshes it is the ascii character 13, and under MS-DOS and Windows 95 it is a string of length 2 containing ascii characters 13 and 10.
Try to avoid confusing the newline string described here with the ASCII character called newline. That character can be incorporated into a string with the escape sequence \n, and it always has ASCII code 10.
