[Autistic] ping?

[Jason Kretzer]

Hey all,

I am new to the list as well and thought this would be
a good time to introduce myself.

I believe the ^M on the end is a visual representation
of the extra character that windows puts at the end of
each line.  Windows puts a carriage return and line
feed at the end.

When a standard text reader sees the extra character,
it is usually represented as ^M.  I discovered this
when I tried out the editor "CoolEdit" and opened some
source files that were created on Windows with it.

Hope this helps,

-Jason
