it may be that your code is calling the 'fsetmode' intrinsic on stdin
with modeflags.(13:1) = 1.  this disables the automatic lf after cr.
it may also be that this functionality is passed on to the dtc.
and it may also be that the dtc's aren't responding to the request
to set it back to normal cr/lf.

try writing a program to fopen stdin and fsetmode'ing it back to normal.
  q&d spl from memory:
    stdin := fopen(,%644,%0);
    fsetmode(stdin,0);
    fclose(stdin);
