A question I have been asked many times.
There are a few methods of addressing what happens when a user is typing a document and presses enter.
Some Macintosh computers put an invisible control character into the document called a carriage return or cr for short.
Most simple Windows based applications use 2 control characters called carriage return/line feed or cr/lf for short.
There are other methods based on the application running.
If kolmafia uses Macintosh format (or a format not listed), then when you copy the text from kolmafia to a windows application the text has no cr/lf combination (only cr is used) so the windows application recognizes everything pasted into it as 1 string. Other possibility: The control characters are just not there for some reason.
The simple explanation...kolmafia and the program you are pasting to speak 2 different languages which are close to the same, but different enough to make a mess of things.
I will be pointing others to this thread when the question is asked of me later, so if this answer is wrong please correct me.
