Well, setting ccl::*do-unix-hack* does open files nicely, but nothing more: a "Save as..." on the same file actually flips back to one-line mode. And no improvement is seen on the load of a file via (load... ).
I looked for the menu code but I have the demo version, I do not think it comes with that. And anyway, jeez, Lispworks does not have this problem.
On another front, I both signed up for the mcl mailing list and requested a 30-day key and have not heard a peep since.
I was looking forward to returning to the Lisp I started with back in the mid 90's, but... has MCL lost its edge? I understand it is a tugh business to be in, but I have to save some money for expensive graphics cards with which to piss off Rahul. :)

Below is a hack I put at the top of my OpenMCL init file to allow it to read files with Mac line endings. I have not tested it, but I think it should do the same for MCL with Unix line endings.
Best,

Note: Do not put any semicolon comments before this line. The next forms define a semicolon reader for both #\linefeed and #\return line endings so that OpenMCL can read MCL input files (Mac line endings). Should also work with with MCL for unix files.

(defun semicolon-reader (stream char) (declare (ignore char)) (do ((c #\null)) ((or (char= c #\linefeed) (char= c #\return))) (setf c (read-char stream nil #\newline t))) (values))

I have downloaded "CRLF fred" for Fred (the MCL editor) that (mostly) handles the issue of different endcodings for text files. I got it from Javier Diaz Reinoso at:
