Found the fix (aka: solution)
Thanks (again) to Padow, a slight change to his syntax solved the problem. Here is the syntax that worked:
:1,$s/ -I/\r/g
Note that I included a space in the seach-for text " -I". This allowed for the extra space to be removed so each line starts at the beginning.
Cheers!

CONVICKT(1) General Commands Manual CONVICKT(1)
NAME
convickt - convert INTERCAL files between formats
SYNOPSIS
convickt incharset outcharset [paddingrule [arrayname]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the convickt command. Fuller documentation is available via the command info convickt
convickt converts INTERCAL programs from one character set to another; it takes input from standard input and sends its output to standard
output.
OPTIONS
For incharset and outcharset
atari Interpret the input as being ASCII-7 Atari syntax INTERCAL, as is used by the Atari INTERCAL-72 compiler, J-INTERCAL, and C-INTERCAL
default syntax, or output in that syntax.
baudot Interpret the input as being in CLC-INTERCAL's extended Baudot syntax, or output in that syntax.
ebcdic Interpret the input as being in the CLC-INTERCAL dialect of EBCDIC, or output in that syntax.
latin1 Interpret the input as being Latin-1 Princeton syntax INTERCAL, as is used by default by CLC-INTERCAL and also readable by C-INTER-
CAL with the -X switch, or output in that syntax.
For paddingrule
zero Pad the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output with zeros.
printable
Set the values of the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output to try to cause the output to stay within character range 32-126.
This option is the default. (Note that paddingrule is irrelevant for 8-bit character sets like Latin-1 and EBCDIC).
random Pad the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output with random data, except that outputing an all-bits-zero octet is avoided.
CAVEATS
Not all conversions are possible, due to the character sets having different characters available. In most cases, an unconvertible or
invalid character will be converted to a 0 (padded appropriately); the exception is that if a tab cannot be converted, it will instead be
converted to a single space (so that INTERCAL programs still run if converted to Baudot). Using atari as an input or output character set
will literally convert characters which differ between Atari and Princeton syntax without checking to see whether they are being used as
operators or not.
If arrayname is given, then instead of outputting the converted text literally, it will be output as portable (that is, legal in INTER-
CAL-72, C-INTERCAL, J-INTERCAL and CLC-INTERCAL) INTERCAL that dimensions the tail array given as arrayname and assigns each byte of the
output to an element of that array; this is mostly useful for producing Baudot text for CLC-INTERCAL-style array IO.
