  Name:     _newline() - specify character that terminates lines
  Usage:    _newline(<char>)
  Params:   integer <char> - the ascii value of the character
            that is to be used as the line terminator character
            when reading lines of text with freadline(), frewind(),
            fbol() or fadvance()

  Returns:  nothing

 ---------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

                 _newline(asc(":"))
                 handle = fopen("MERGE.TXT")
                 freadline(handle)
                 * reads in lines of text that terminate in
                 * a semicolon. Linefeeds and carriage returns
                 * are ignored. The semicolon can appear
                 * anywhere in the text and it will be considered
                 * the end of the line even if it is not the last
                 * character on the line

                 _newline(0)
                 * resets the newline character to a
                 * chr(13)+chr(10)

  Note:     This function is primarily for use with programs
            that do not put a chr(13)+chr(10) newline character
            on the end of lines in a text file. Certain compilers
            only use a chr(13) or a chr(10) to delimit lines
            of text. This function affects freadline(), fadvance()
            fbol(), frewind().
