Windows does just a Carriage Return

Macs used to do just a Newline, not sure if that changed in OSX

Notepad is a holdover from about 10 yrs ago, have you tried a more modern text editor?

Mob levels of 51+ are very artificial when compared to levels 1-50. The level is more a guide to difficulty rather than epic levels above and beyond level 50. Mobs currently do not have access to 11th and 12th circle spells or additional skills beyond some race based ones (wing buffet).
