Maybe the behavior of ENDLINFMT is about the display, not the contents. 
That option suppresses any end-of-line characters, so it is raw. Or maybe 
there is some weird kind of character translation.

I'm not sure about QNTC - maybe you'd need to copy it first to another part 
of IFS, then from there to QNTC?
