I think you need to press CTRL V and then CTRL M to represent that
character. Caret-M doesn't work. I had this problem with some stuff on
FreeBSD and was pointed to the following link:

Several solutions are provided.

This is for newbies, right? Can anyone tell me why a s/^M//g won't get rid
of the annoying ^M on the end of each line of an imported Paradox database?
Is there a better way? I know this has to be simple, yet I can find no
reference in my plethora of Perl books.
TIA for any and all help - you guys are great and I appreciate the time you
all put into this effort to help folks like me :-)
