[lug] Beautify in vi

I have several files that I transfered from linux to FreeBSD. On the
FreeBSD server the command chars are showing up. Mainly ^M. I saw that
set: beautify is supposed to clean those out. But it isn't and I found
one doc that says it only does so when reading into a file. I tried
creating a new file and reading the old one into it. Still no luck.

Anyone know of something I could do to strip these automatically?

Thanks,

John
