\n/g

You get a single line with -at- chars spred through out it. Instead I needed to do something like

1,$s/$/
/g

and her the EOL char seems to magically be placed on the end of lines in VIM. I've confirmed this with
the :help page. This would seem to be a huge break with programming conventions. How can VIM not recognize the
universal "\n" char which is in the ASCII set?

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attacted at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
