This is going to sound silly, but: there should only be end-of-line
characters at the ends of lines :-) Also, as a side note, most reputable
Linux (or UNIX) text editors will show 'hidden characters', too.

Just to clarify: the -f1`" forms part of the previous line.

The 'for' loop must be split onto three separate lines, or modified to
fit onto a single line. I wonder if Eudora is unfortunately messing up
the text for you? Here is a one-line version of Cameron's original (it
will appear as two lines, but you should join them back together):

for chain in FORWARD INPUT OUTPUT; do iptables -A ${chain} -m state
--state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT; done
