I don't think mcgrath answered the question, at least not my question,
which is
   How can you pass through a file checking for the existence of any
control characters that might screw up printing? 
   and    does anyone have an .el file which will convert all such
characters to some printable representation (for example, so they will
print the way they appear on the screen)
