No. Notepad saves in Windows format, with no option for switching to a UNIX format.

I recommend Notepad++, which is free.

I would also recommend WinSCP, which will not only edit in the correct format, but automatically copy it to the router for you.

Just remember to change the default setting at Settings>Preferences>New Document>Format (Line ending) to "Unix/OSX". This setting can be verified/changed for just the current file at Edit>EOL Conversion.

wordpad does also the job very well.

Wordpad is a bad choice because it saves files with DOS/Windows EOL characters rather than Unix (same as Notepad). This will cause problems like jffs scripts not running.

Another vote for Notepad++

Very powerful and the price is right...

On Mac - try TextWrangler from BareBones Software...

Yes Wordpad is strange like that. It will open and display Unix type files correctly (unlike Notepad), but it does so by converting it to Windows format. Meaning that if you save it back again you can run into problems.
