Can't send newline |

Greetings!
I'm trying to send a string to the modem from a script, using <screen
-S myscreen -X stuff "string%n">. The problem is that I can't get the
newline character across: it just echoes exactly as I send it. I've
tried ^m, ^M, %n, %r, \015 and various other octal characters, but to
no avail.
Just to be clear: I have two terminal windows, one is running screen,
the other has a command line. If I type <screen -S myscreen -X stuff
"ATH0%n"> at the command line, the other windows shows <ATH0%n>;
nothing is sent to the modem unless I press return in that window.
The same is true for all other newline variations. I tried everything
I found on this list that worked for others, but none of it is
working for me (e.g., the thread on sending an ESC across, even using
<screen -S myscreen -X stuff `echo -ne '%n'`>).
I'm running screen 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03, on an iMac Core Duo with
OS X 10.4.6. Am I doing something wrong? Does screen work differently
on a Mac? Am I misunderstanding something?
Thank you very much for any help, info, advice, etc.
Ariel
