        A dumb-but-it-works solution: use  EVE's REPLACE command.  Since
    you're an EDT user, I'll walk you through once...

        1) $EDIT/TPU logfile.name

        2) If you're on a VT200-Style keyboard, hit DO, or
    	   On a VT100-style keyboard, hit PF4, or
           If neither of the above gets a "Command: " prompt, 
             hit CTRL/B and CTRL/X to recall the "last" command and 
    	     erase the line, leaving you at the "Command: " prompt.

        3) Type "replace", then  use  EVE's "QUOTE" command, CTRL/V,
           followed   by  CTRL/J  to  enter  an  explicit   linefeed
           character as the string to be replaced, and hit return:

    		Command: replace 

    	
    	   EVE will respond with:
    	
        	New String:
    	
           Just hit RETURN (for a  null replacement).  When it finds
           the first linefeed, EVE will prompt:
    	
        	Replace? Type Yes, No, All, Last, or Quit:
    	
           Answer  with  "a"  for  all,  and  EVE  will  remove  all
           occurrences in the file.
    	
        4) Repeat steps 2) and  3)  above,  using  CTRL/M (for 
           place  of  CTRL/J, and EVE will remove all  the  explicit
           carriage returns in the file.

        5) Hit CTRL/Z to save the file and exit.  You're done. :-)
