[ something *is* actually eating this line these days.. ]


I'm using the regex code out of 18.52 and would like to construct a
regular expression that will match *all* of the characters in a string
of text containing newlines. I tried ".*" (the most obvious), but it
just matches up to the first newline. I haven't got newlines being treated
specially in any way (I.E. as "or"s) so I can't figure out why this is
happening.

Any suggestions?
