Description:
The exported file contains special characters instead of New Line characters that can be seen opening an exported script on Notepad or using Vi on linux (on vi they show as a new line plus  ^M)

How to repeat:
Do a forward engineer script and open it on notepad, they will show all in one line and a thin rectangle.
If you open it on Wordpad, the special characters do not show.

Suggested fix:
You the proper New line character.

Thank you for a problem report. I do not think that using (hex) 0A character for a new line is a bug, though. Yes, normal "DOS" line break is OD0A, but 0A works in most editors both in DOS/Windows world and on UNIX.

I am sure that ^M in Linux is a result of saving the file with "normal" Windows text editor, as this is 0D essentially.
