in thread A 'strange' character("^M") of contrasting color appearing unexpededly at the end of lines of a unix file. How can it be removed?

Warning to future readers: Sorry; ^M is a 0x0d or "carriage return" a line feed is 0x0a (as correctly stated by jwkrahn, well before I posted this).

AR's reference to the use of a return in "macintosh line endings" is at best flawed, as Apple adopted nix'ish LFs for its more recent OSen.
