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

I always use DrRacket for editing rkt files.
Thanks, Jos

	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

		Very strange.
		I did the same on my other computer and there it has the
same problem as

		I use windows 7 on both systems one with 64 bit OS and one
with 32 bit OS.
		The 64 bit version does well, the 32 bit windows 7 system
has the problem.
		May be my preferences?

			This doesn't exactly solve your problem, but what 
			happens (for both cases) when you do this?:
			#lang racket
			(require test-engine/racket-tests)
			(display "(format \"~n\") = ") (format "~n")
			(display "\"") (newline)
			(display "\" = ") "
			"
			(check-expect (format "~n") "
			")
			(test)
			(void (read-line)) ; wait until the user has read
the results.

			Running the following in DrRacket goes well.
			
			#lang racket
			(require test-engine/racket-tests)
			(check-expect (format "~n") "
			")
			(test)
			(read-line) ; wait until the user has read the
results.
			
			Displays: The only test passed!
			
			But running the same with Racket tells me the 
			test fails.
			I have a solution for this by removing #\return

			compared.
			
			Question though: Can I solve this problem in a 
			simpler way?
			May be I overlooked something in the docs?
			
			Best wishes, Jos
