No need to go to all that work (unless you _really_ want to)... I figured
out how to use the ProTerm text editor. 

Replace ^J with ^M

I didn't realise you had to use the "^", so I was trying to do it with the
"control" key.

Still, a batch conversion utility would probably be quite handy, and I'm
surprised nothing already exists other than home-rolled ones.
