In emacs, ^O puts the end-of-line character(s) into your editing buffer and 
leaves the cursor at the same place it was in before the ^O was pressed. 
Hitting Return puts the same end-of-line character into your buffer but
the cursor is repositioned to be after the end-of-line character. The
difference might appear to be subtle but it's handy to have the option of
where you want your cursor to be after hitting Return.

Disclaimer: This is the way ^O seems to work on TOPS-20 emacs. I haven't
checked other versions.
