Ahhhh.... yes, I know the problem very well.  Let me rephrase your comment.
When you uploaded a file from your laptop to your DOS computer, it stored to
disk without linefeed characters.  Excellent!!!  This is "exactly" what all
stock Model 100, 102, and 200's do!!

Way back when, a long time ago, in a land far, far away, the developers of the
Model 100 decided to "not" generate the line feed character (HEX 0A, Dec 10)
along with the charrage return character (HEX 0D, Dec 13).  And that's the way
the Model 100 hit the market.  Very soon after its introduction in March 1983,
programmer-type folks discovered that they could turn the line feed character
back on.  One of the oldest files in our library is the line feed program.  It
allows you to toggle line feed generation for both printing and telcom use.

Now, back to my last message to you regarding Lapdos II.  Guess what?  You
don't need to go through the line feed pain if you use Lapdos II for file
transfers between your Model T and your DOS computer.  But, if you'd like to
experience the fun of having line feed generation, you may download the line
feed generation program from the library or... it's one of the hand full of
public domain program included on the Lapdos II distribution disk.

Okay... so the mystery is solved and solutions are at hand.

Hope this helps... -Rick-
