newline
I have an old file originally created in vi but read and saved by a word processor at some point.
I have ^Ms and know how to substitute them for anything I wish but I still only have one long line when viewed in vi.
So I suppose I need to substitute a newline for each ^M but I don't know the code to use.
Shouldn't make any difference but I'm using vi in MAC OSX Leopard.
