I am trying to map some keys in vi on the Unix-PC and am having
a problem that seems peculiar to this machine's version of vi.

If I map a key to something containing a ctrl-M or carriage return,
the ^M gets echoed but not interpreted.  How can I tell vi to interpret
the control characters?

Eg:

map N :w^M:n^M

(where the ^M represents a ctrl-V followed by an M)
maps the Shifted N to the sequence :w\n:n\n

This works fine on various flavors of unix-vi, but on the Unix-PC,
the characters appear on the vi command line & they just sit there waiting
for me to press return.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
	Tanya
