My apologies: my return codes are actually there, as you more seasoned  
fellows  
undoubtedly knew. Apparently they get interpreted fine by vim, but I  
still  
when I use them to add to a string in ruby where another segment added  
to the  
string has normal linefeeds for end of lines, then the string segment  
with CRs  
gets lfs added and suddenly all the CRs show up. It is an interesting  
behavior,  
but not something I was able to pull up from the searches. I’m afraid I  
need  
to hone my searching skills generally for both Google and otherwise.

Again, suggestions and comments are welcome, and you are of course  
welcome to  
make this foolishness public, as others may want to know of the  
behavior.
