Inserting linefeed in query-replace-reqexp

Inserting linefeed in query-replace-reqexp

[Ed Rubinsky]

How do you insert a linefeed as part of the replace regexp in the 
query-replace-regexp command? I've tried C-Q<RET>, which puts the literal 
^M in the replacement string, and not a linefeed.
I'm using emacs 21.2.1 on both linux and W2K.

Best, Ed

Use `C-q C-j' instead.
