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?
