RE: sed/vi how to concatenate all non-empty lines?

["Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@example.com>]

Thanks. :)

I've opened the output file in vi but it causes vi to behave strangely, i.e. 
I can't cursor down a line or even do a ctrl-f to go down a page. I also 
have a bunch of ^M all over the place.

I guess this is caused by the fact that it's an MS-DOS file? the CR/LF is 
causing a problem? But when I open the original file in vi I don't see any 
^M though  . . .
