Not having (or using) emacs, I can't be sure but I'd venture a guess that emacs is assuming that the command shell it uses on Windows wants "text mode" input and is handing that to bash, which wants binary. Given the plethora of options, configuration settings, and keystrokes in emacs that do everything from formatting your text to cooking your dinner (well, almost), it seems to me that there would be some combination of all of those that would fairly easily allow you to filter out (or keep them from being added in the first place!) those pesky \r's. However, if this hypothesis is true, someone more knowledgeable (or more interested in poking around in emacs) will have to answer with specifics of how to do this. I'd suggest consulting the emacs mailing list too... Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc.
