Wow, Deadpan David.
How about using the escape sequence "\r"?
Keep in mind that Ctrl-M is used as the end-of-line character on some operating
systems, so accomplishing this may not be portable, and you didn't specify your
operating system. On the three main platforms (*nix, Windows/DOS, and Mac),
"\r" should work, but "\n" may get munged.
