I've finally discovered the source of the problem, and I think it has 
nothing to do with emacs of any kind.  I work on several machines, not all
of which can be linked via ssh in both directions, and so I often have to
resort to using browser-based mail to send myself files.  When I send myself
what was originally a DOS file and was recognized as such by emacs 
(although the lower left looks different in emacs and Aquamacs -- 
-uu-(DOS)- in the built-in emacs for the Mac, -(DOS)-- for Aquamacs), once 
I download it from the mail, it has ^M^M at the end of every line.  So, 
sorry for the goose chase.
