  Yeah.  Sigh.

  I needed to test to make sure the command I was posting would work, so
I did "tr -d "\012"" on my .login file (the first name I could think of
:-), since I knew that it didn't contain any ^M characters (only ^J),
and missing ^J's would be really hard to miss.

  I forgot to change \012 back into \015 before posting the message. 
And Randal just took my cue :-).
