Yes, I'm using windows.  What is "'b' in the mode?"  The help for
print says:

A ``'\n'`` character is written at the end, unless the ``print``
statement ends with a comma.  This is the only action if the statement
contains just the keyword ``print``.

So I followed with a comma to stop the default CR LF insertion.
