I like this feature. Some of my files are very ugly because I both
edited under DOS and under Lx, and some ^M are in the middle of the
line. Before this feature I didn't realized it, nothing was showed, and
Perl was not like it. After I'm able to see it, i can fix it "easily"
(see later).

It seem's to be a good idea.

It's OK and a good feature, but please don't hide them when they're in
the middle of the line... :) MC did it, and I didn't realized where are
they, what's the problem.
And a question. Is there any way I can search'n'replace the ^M
characters with nothing in my code? I didn't found the way for it, and
it's not a good game to do it by hand. I know I know that I can write a
program for it, but I think the answer shouldn't be this.
Bye,
Andras
