"carriage return"??????????

"J.M."

A carriage return causes the cursor to move to the left margin, often used
with line feed to start a new line of output.

When you complete an online form, the text will be stored or sent
somewhere as a file. If the said file is to be read on a unix machine
each line will need to end with just a linefeed. If the file is to be
read on a dos/windows machine each line will need to end with a
carriage return followed by a linefeed.
