I'm not familiar with the details of the text IO APIs, but you could always 
just wrap it in another function like this:

//Psuedocode
string ReadLineGuaranteeLineEnding() // Could probably think of a better 
name
{
    // Read from din.readLine
    // Check for and remove any trailing '\n' and '\r'
    // Append "\n\r"
    // Return result
}
