Sometimes, in MicroEmacs (I'm using 3.9e), I find I want to replace
^Ms at the end of lines by ^Js (sometimes I grab text from another
system where this is the convention, and I want to change it in the
editor).   However, if I say

	replace-string ^Q ^M <META> ^Q ^J <META>

(which is what I'd do in Gnu, for example) both the ^M and the ^J
appear on the screen as <NL>s, and no replacements are made.

Does anyone know of a way around this?
