Yes, either will do -- however when all we've got is plain-text emails to communicate, it's hard to discern "^M" (the two characters "caret em") from "^M" (a single control+M character displayed in Vim with an alternate color and entered by prefixing with control+V which, for those sourcing the accursed mswin.vim, becomes some other character like control+Q which then has to be further clarified). Given the complications involved, I tend to just use the "\r" notation to make it as unambiguous as possible. :) But when I'm vimming personally, I use them both interchangeably with equal frequency. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
