[racket] newlines in strings not the same in DrRacket and Racket

Or are you using different editors?  Different editors might use different conventions for representing newlines.  

When the 32 bit one has the problem, what does it say?  

For example when I made the text file with DrRacket or TextEdit but ran it with racket (not DrRacket), it worked, 
but when I made the text file with Microsoft Word, it gave me this:
$ racket newline-3.txt
(format "~n") = "\n"
"
" = "\r"
Ran 1 check.
0 checks passed.
	Actual value 
, the expected value.
 In newline-3.txt at line 7 column 0
