Illegal characters/ .LSP files

[Jeff Bishop <jbishop@nwu.edu>]

I have found that whenever I edit any Lisp files on the OS/2 system 
editor (or any of several other text editors which run on the same 
platform) I get an error message when I attempt to load them.  It says 
;; Loading file C:\Common Lisp\chapter5.lsp ...
*** - READ from #<STRING-CHAR-FILE-STREAM #"C:\\Common 
Lisp\\chapter5.lsp">: ill
egal character #\

I *suspect* it might have something to do with ^M at the end of a line, 
since I have experienced no such problems with the Unix version.  Does 
anyone know how to edit the files to make them readable in a DOS, 
Windows, or OS/2 environment?
