Cntrl-M characters ...

[Strömberg Peter]

Or, maybe preferably, use text editors in Windows that honour the native
line endings of a file, be it Mac, Unix or DOS. Textpad is one such text
editor. Then you'll only occationally encounter those ^Ms. They're pretty
easily disposed of from vi:

:%s/^M$//

(That's a ctrl-v ctrl-m sequence, not the ^ character.)
