carriage return

In computing, a special code (ASCII value 13) that moves the screen cursor or a print head to the beginning of the current line. Most word processors and the MS-DOS operating system use a combination of CR and line feed (LF – ASCII value 10) to represent a hard return. The Unix system, however, uses only LF and therefore files transferred between MS-DOS and Unix require a conversion program.
