Sorry, this is in a .bat/.cmd file, so the ^T will not work. Use ¶.

Can you confirm that you've successfully managed to use a carriage
return as a delimiter in a FOR /F loop?

I have. Try pasting this into a .bat file and running it from the command
prompt.
echo a>test.txt
echo b>>test.txt
echo c>>test.txt
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=¶" %%a in (test.txt) do (net send %computername%

As far as I can tell, this is a dead end. First of all a
Control-T is created with Alt-20, but that won't work
anyway. I believe the object is to create a line with
anewline character in the displayed message. Isn't it?
The problem being that NET SEND interprets the CR/LF pair
as the end of the statement and therefore truncates the
message string after the first newline intended for output.
The solution I found is to use a linefeed without a
carriage return. However, it's hard to create this in a
batch procedure or most editors. Notepad and Edit
both 'correct' the malformed lines. In fact, even when I
used DEBUG to change the line ends to linefeeds only, it
appears that the command processor corrected the line ends
as it executed the batch file.
About the best I found was to use a WSH script, something
like this ...
with createobject("wscript.shell")
..run "net send %computername% a" & chr(10) _
& "b" & chr(10) & "c", 0, false
end with
Of course the literals "a", "b" and "c" can be replaced
with variables containing the desired text, possibly read
in from a text file, or as command line parameters (if
they're not too long).

work in edit.com, but if you do it in notepad or something, you can use ¶.

I just used net send for the sake of using something. I could have echoed
instead. Either way, my example was wrong. :]

Yes, I figured out I was barking up the wrong tree.
I posted a retraction of sorts and what I believe is a
workaround for the original request.
