[R] R.app "incompatable" with Emacs

[Richard M. Heiberger]

Emacs normally recognizes line endings and opens the file correctly.
Therefore the
first place to look is in the file itself.  When some of the lines have ^M
and others do
not, then emacs assumes you have LF-only line endings and displays the ^M
character.

The preventive action is to correct the original writing of the file.  The
corrective
action is to remove all the ^M characters with, for example
M-x replace-string RET C-q C-m RET RET and save the repaired file.

Subject: [R] R.app "incompatable" with Emacs

Dear R-users on the Mac,

With Leopard 10.5.2, R.app GUI 1.23, and Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-apple- 
darwin9, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
I've got the following problem. When editing foo.R in R.app I get  
myriads of ^M (end-of-line or CR?) in the file when opened
with Emacs. This isn't trivial to me as I shift between R.app and  
Emacs/ESS.
Any simple tweak?

Fredrik
