Generally speaking a newline consists of a \n\r setup, the \n by itself means newline the \r could translate to "return to left" I suppose and together they would be considered a carriage return -- however \n alone often does the function of both

Not really.
The newline character is represented by \n
The newline sequence depends on the platform, and could be the newline character, the carriage return character (\r), or a carriage return and newline character pair (\r\n).
I'm not sure where you got \n\r from.

My apologies, its been a bad (read: extremely long) weak, I did mean \r\n
