Okay, good, that should work fine (usually call that the "internal editor" or the "line editor"). fseditor.js (default external editor) receives raw files via ZMODEM as well.

I'm not clear why you would need to insert line feeds. You probably shouldn't need to (I assume the lines would already be terminated with line feeds). Inserting line feeds into the middle of arbitrary ANSI escape sequences isn't likely to produce the output you want.

Have you tried displaying the file locally (before uploading) but after your script processes the file?

One other thing, your QWKnet tag line appears to be using an unsupported method of Ctrl-A code insertion, "\1" isn't how it's done in the
SCFG->Networks->QWK->Default Tagline. You should be able to just type a literal Ctrl-A character/key sequence there.
