There's a key labelled "Return" that enters a CARRIAGE RETURN ASCII control code whose value is 13. This value can also be obtained with Control and the 13th letter, M, hence the representation as ^M. If you don't like CR, then don't use the RET key. > How can I restore the previous behavior, or, failing that, replace > something with a newline? On unix, newline is represented by the ASCII code LINE FEED, value 10, which can be entered using Control and the 10th letter, J. Then type: C-q C-j > I don't know when and why this stopped working. It stopped working when you lost those neurons when you banged your head on the floor.
