- That's no linefeed, it's SUPERMAN! Well, at least it's no linefeed.
- After a control character is displayed, the display goes to a new line, but
- no linefeed character is made part of the file. You'll note that if you look
- at a file containing, for instance, ^A, ^A will appear as the last character
- of whatever line it's on, but if you save the file without changing it, and
- look at it with 'type opt h' or something similar, the file is unchanged.
- I (usually) don't like this way of displaying control characters; I wish it
- were an option.
