When TSE loads a file, the end-of-line characters are
removed.  This makes the overall logic much easier in most
places (but harder in a few others).

So, you can't see them in HEX mode, because they are not
there (unless you load the file in binary mode).

To see them, you'll have to load the file in binary mode.

Try the undocumented binary mode -3, for instance:

g32 -b-3 foo.bar

You'll probably want to use an OEM font.

The editor does not currently make that information
available, but I'll gladly change that.

But what is the interface?  A new function?

string GetCurrEOLType()
    returns the end-of-line characters for the current file
    as a string.

integer GetCurrEOLType()
    returns the end-of-line characters for the current file
    as a flag, _CR_, _CR_LF_, _LF_.

Or a new editor variable?

How about in the already existing BufferFlags editor
variable?  I've still got 20+ bits left, so I could create
new flags to or in.

But what do I return if the file is a mixture, e.g., some
lines end in CR, some in LF, and some in both?
