I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but remember, NewLine must be enabled in the terminal. If not, rather than sending a CR and LF, the terminal will simply overprint the 80th charachter until it reaches the end of the line. If autowrap is enabled and newline disabled, the line will wrap around without any blank lines displayed.
