Ended up looking at the older threads and the fix posted a few months ago, to use the program textwrangler and save in UNIX text format, worked. The problem seems to be that the normal Mac text handling programs do not have this option and Athena requires it. Just looking at the files in another text editing program does not reveal the problem.
Hi Jay, Thanks for posting this. I had thought that Athena was dealing gracefully with the three different line termination conventions. As you point out -- it's wasn't. Drat! I wrote some code yesterday to do "the right thing" with mac-, unix-, and windows-line-terminated files. It seems to work, but I want to test it a bit longer. Once I am satisfied, I'll make a new release of the source code. I plan to do this soon so that the folks working on packaging the software for the various flavors of macs can include the fix in their next versions of their packages.
