You are probably editing DOS-file (with CRLF instead of CR as in UNIX).
Try to find such thisnas 'dos-mode' for emacs.

Alternatively I have this in my ~/.emacs:

(defun dos-unix ()

(defun unix-dos ()
(interactive)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward "\n" nil t) (replace-match "\r\n")))
Any time I need to convert file between dos - unix I call either
'M-x dos-unix' or 'M-x unix-dos'
Cheers,

You are correct. I was thrown off because the other editors I use on the
Mac don't have a problem with the ^M's (including vanilla emacs).
However, executing M-x dos-unix left the file without any newlines at
all. I modified the replace-match to "\n" and everything seems to be as
I want. To repeat, I am an emacs/xemacs newbie so if my modification is
going to nail me in the future, you can save me some grief by warning me
now.
Thanks for the replies Dmytro and Charles.
Michael
