Actually, the ^V will show up as a "^" on the bottom line. Then it
gets replaced by the following character as a literal (works with ESC,
etc, too).

And if you want to do this on the Windoze box to re-burn the CD,
download a copy of Vim (www.vim.org). Vi Improved on Windoze and
other platforms. Schweeet. Then you can fix the files, recreate
the CD and redistribute.
