I found a way - use elle.  The control character can be included in a search
command by preceding it with the character ctrl-\ (I think that was what it was,
my docs are at home, and I am at work).  At any rate, the specific character is
in the elle manual, and it works just fine.  A single command will remove all of
the ^M's from the file.

Cheers,
