Hi Jerry,

I  did give the command which `C-x w' runs on my machine: it is
`what-line'.

I don't think  the problem   concerns "line ending: conventions. 
I have tried saving it after doing `C-x <RET> unix' or save as dos
the disparity between the response of `C-x w' and `C-x l' (which is
count-lines-page)  persists nevertheless.

Thanks for the response.
Cheers.
Kalyan
