There has been a lot of noise in this thread, but I think we need to go back to the beginning. You say that you are "not a complete newbie" and that you are getting lots of ^Ms. Presumably this means that there was some *other* circumstance where you *didn't* see a bunch of ^Ms. What were you running before where you didn't see the ^Ms? What are you running now where you do? The reality is that if you use missing MS-DOS/Unix system, or you use typescript, or you do any number of other things, ^Ms are normal. But this should be true of ANY Unixy system. FreeBSD is not any different from Linux, System V, Solaris, HP/UX, or anybody else in this regard. And of course under Windows, *all* files end in ^M. However, the editors don't show ^M as a visible chracters. Is it perhaps as simple as the fact that you are now using an editor that displays <CR>s and previously you used an editor that didn't display them?
