The version of viper-cmd.el distributed with Emacs 21.3 has this snippet in the viper-replace-char-subr function: (if (eq char ?\C-m) (setq char ?\n)) So perhaps you're using an old version of viper -- what do `M-x locate-library RET viper' and `M-x list-load-path-shadows' tell you? -- Kevin Rodgers
