Nancy, you still needed the chr("10") even after you added the r=\n ?  I am not 
able to test this at the moment, but I would think that this would give you CR 
then CR LF (oa od oa).  If it says that the record delimiter is a new line by 
default, then it sounds like the documentation should be updated to reflect the 
fact that you need to specify the r=\n to get the newline.
