Hi Ed,
The data type "Handle" in all it's incarnations is a word size, things like
MemHandle are defined off of "Handle" which is defined "word". They're given
different names so it's easier to read and understand what that data type is
for.

I'm going to have to guess on this, but GEOS handles carriage returns and
linefeeds like UNIX does. If you want certain characters kept in, you'll
need to intercept the keyboard for carriage returns and tell the file how to
display/interpret the key.
