At the vi command line
:1,$:s/<here type ctrl-v then ctrl-M to get the ^M control character//
Basically it's just saying from line 1 to end($) search for ctrl-M and
replace with nothing.
Get this all the time when working with people who write router configs on
their windblows machines and send them to me.
