Thanks Andr�
That should work, but I think LyX should handle the Ctrl-M as well.
The came from exporting a Word file on a Mac.
I could see the Ctrl-M's in less and joe, and tried to replace them with
Enter's, but it just replaced the Ctrl-M with a Ctrl-M :{
The Ctrl=M's were interpreted as nothing (dropped).
