     If you are using r= \n in your import line, I don't think the import
line would cut off on the Windows version when it encounters just an LF
character.  It's supposed to look for the 2 character CR/LF sequence.  

    Again let me ask:  Please send us the "import" line from your filePro
code. 

    We might be able to (somewhat) fix the problem if we have the import
line use r=13.  That way it would skip by all of the LF's.  HOWEVER, then
the first field in record 2 and subsequent records would contain a LF
character as the first character.   Hopefully you could easily edit the
first field in order to remove that stray LF character.
