If you're only seeing this problem in joe, it's probably not that CR isn't
working, and not that joe doesn't understand you've hit CR, but that joe
doesn't properly update the screen when you do. You can test this by editing
a file in joe and saving it and then looking at it with less or more and
seeing if the CR's are really where you put them.
Unfortunatly, joe has a very odd, messed up little termcap library all its
own. It doesn't seem to work very well when used from things like windows
telnet.
