We're saying the same thing.  You call them invisible, I call
them hidden, and we're both saying they got added when he
edited the file under Windows.  If he were to open the file in, say,
"vi" instead, on Linux, it would display the ^M endings, no doubt,
at least if he entered ":set list" to display invisible characters.
