Make sure that you copy them from Windows to Linux using a _text_
transfer method.  Otherwise, the Windows CRLF end-of-line will confuse
Linux programs, which are expecting LF end-of-line.

By "set list", I assume you're using vi (or equivalent)?  Some versions
of vi are "smart" enough to know that it's a DOS-formatted file, and not
show the extra CR at the end of each line.  Type Ctrl-G and see if it
says "[DOS format]" after the filename.
