Go to the top of the buffer in Emacs and then type:

    M-x replace-string RET
    C-q C-m RET
    RET

That way you replace the `^M' by nothing. The keysequence `C-q' is
necessary to be able to insert the `^M' in the string to be replaced:

    C-q runs `quoted-insert'

    `quoted-insert' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
      -- loaded from "/usr/src/xemacs/lisp/simple.elc"
    (quoted-insert ARG)

    Documentation:
    Read next input character and insert it.
    This is useful for inserting control characters.
    You may also type up to 3 octal digits, to insert a character with that code.
