Hi,



I've got one more quick question for you guys. The string
I'd like to use as the newstring in M-x replace-regexp contains a few newline
characters. Normally, I insert newlines by typing C-q C-j, but this doesn't
work when calling this function. How do you specify a newline character when
making a call to M-x replace-regexp?



Thanks!
