I believe this is platform-dependent. Windows wants both a carriage-return and
line-feed character to move down a line and to the left edge. Macintosh will
accept the carriage-return only. I don't know about the various flavors of
Unix/Linux shells.
The basic idea is that a line feed advances the paper one line through the
printer while the carriage return moves the print head to the left-most column
(think of an old Underwood or Royal typewriter that reporters were always shown
using in movies before the 1960's).
