You didn't mention that bit Arne. :-(

The implication from your posting was that this is an interactive
session problem. This matters because the terminal driver does a
lot of output processing on the data it is asked to display.

Now I know this, try putting your output + CR + LF into a string
and then output the string only in the print statement.

This may or may not make a difference depending on what the Basic
RTL does with the string.
