Re: saving files - funky characters

Hi,

It seems that Notepad on a Windows 2000 PC doesn't support standard encodings
and needs CR/LF to work correctly.
We can add an option in the command "Save As" that allows users to generate 
these
CR/LF (it won't be the standard behavior).
What do Amaya users think?
