My solution set is:

a.  from DOS to MAC, I use MacSink on the Macintosh.  Here I will strip
    the [] from the beginning of each line using the Convert/Strip Controls
    menu item.

b.  from Mac to DOS, I use an EMACS style editor such as Jove, MicroEmacs,
    or my old FinalWord II.  FWII has a Convert-to-Ascii command and a
    Convert-to-FWII as well as the ability to insert the ^J.

    Or snap it over to a Unix system using Kermit.

Good luck,
Steve
