No need to shout - neither Perl nor Cisco are acronyms.

I don't think two all-caps words in a sentence that's otherwise properly
cased really constitutes shouting.



when I FTP the files to my Windows XP PC and try to read them in
Notepad, there is clearly no line wrap that Notepad understands. If
I
otherwise read the file into WordPad first, save the file, then open
into Notepad, the formatting presents correctly.

Transfer the files in text mode. That will translate the line endings
as needed.

While it is common to use ASCII mode one should still take care, as this
isn't always guarenteed to work. There used (still are?) issues with
this when uploading to MacOS based servers, for example.
