What were you trying to do?

  I was trying to talk to os2user@hundred-acre-wood.mit.edu.  In
  particular, I wanted to send more than one line of text.

What went wrong?

  The return key didn't work.  Hitting `return' gave me a `^M' in the
  talk window.  I had to hit Control-J to get what I wanted.

What should have happened?

  The return key should have worked.  /usr/athena/bin/talk should be
  expecting UNIX newlines, since it is running on a UNIX machine...
