will pico or nano fix this?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

see if d2u or dos2unix or fromdos or flip are available they all have 
the same function and will remove those hard returns if you tell those 
utilities to bring the file into unix format.
Next, see if fmt or newfmt are available these will reformat lines for 
you to a default width of 80 I think and if you don't like 80 you 
specify your own width on the command line.
