It should be showing that ctrl - M (actually ASCII 13) even in vim ... pico
should handle it OK. See LOST tip in my sig ... [or use "dos2unix" and
"unix2dos"]
Or on windows, replace notepad by a better (freeware) editor like notetab or
editpad to save files in unix format, so as not to generate this charater at
all.

Yay. Joe is a rather nice editor.

I think there _is_ a command (smbpopup / nmbpopup, forgot which)

Method #1:
To convert a DOS text file to Unix so that the extra ASCII 13

$cat filename.dos | tr -d '\015' > filename.unix
