that works (take out the " ") almost all times (as does the pico trick),
but yesterday I came across a file that had embedded ^Ms and neither
pico nor vi could do it. The problem was the the ^Ms weren't at the end
of line (how). The entire file was a single line, with ^Ms embedded.
enter sed stage left.
s/^V^M/\
/g
exit stage right.
