If you open a document in vim, and you see it littered with ^M characters, that means that someone saved this document in MicroSoft Windows.
But the problem (^M characters, not MicroSoft) is easily fixed!
Simply typing this with the CARROT and M keys will not be enough...
:%s/^M//g
The ^M can be produced by hitting the control key and V, and then, hitting the control key and M.
Once that command is executed with the correct control-key sequence, you will have document freshly cleaned of ^M characters.
