    editor and writing it back out.  MicroEmacs sees the UNIX
    newline (LF) as an end-of-line and converts it to MSDOS
    (CR/LF) when it writes the file back out.  Will other
    editors do this as well??  Not very high-tech, but hey,

JOVE does this as well.  Freemacs doesn't.  Although it is very
convenient sometimes a *real* character editor probably shouldn't do
this.  I just have mint function that will do it for me.  That way in
case I really want a ^J in a line my editor won't make these
assumtpions for me.
