Has anyone else experienced a problem where when writing a record back to a LH file, it has been saved in DOS format.
Ie, if you EDIT the record, it appears on one line, until you use Shift-F7 to convert it back to Arev format.

I've seen it in RBasic Source code files but was never sure what the cause was. Too many fingers in the pie so to speak and often programs were imported/exported to DOS so a remote access program like PC Anywhere to could transfer them for work offsite.
Could be somebody copied with the (I) option.
I've seen this happen in 2.0x when records get really large, particularly with text fields are combined with AMV's.

There are a couple of things that could cause this. Probably most likely is that a @RM got inserted into the record. If you edit a record with a @RM in it, the editor will use the @RM as the default delimiter. @FMs will appear as boxes the way @VMs usually do. The solution is to remove the @RM if you don't need it. Note that this is NOT viewing the record in DOS format, even though it looks like it is.
The alternative is that you really are viewing the record in DOS format. If this is the case, perhaps you accidentally hit the keystroke that toggles the view mode. Remember that these settings will remain on a record-level even after you exit the record, so when you re-edit the record it will appear as it did the previous time you edited it.
I've seen it all too often.
The only cure that I have come up with is to ctrl-c at the end of the statement and delete the char(13)♪ and char(10)◙ so that it is "normal". Ugh!
