Type "ver" at a DOZE prompt.

I have notice a similar effect while copying from a DOZE window to another 
DOZE window. Although I do not cut out the end of line, the paste operation
is inserting one anyway. My guess is that your editor (or perhaps WINDOZE 
itself) is inserting some control characters or something.
