I need to insert a numeric text string into an opened text document,

The user just presses the Big Red Button on my box, when needed.

Should I send cr/lf etc at the end of my data to create a new line?
Probably need it to be M$/Mac/Lunix compatable.

You need to read some more about HID. Keypads send keypresses,
not text. You probably need do nothing more than send the code for
the Enter key to have the text come out correctly on all systems.

Wow, never thought "they" would have a code for the Enter key.

Thanks, a bit more reading to do!
