i'm hoping you don't have to print it all out then... That's a huge pain,
and waste of paper! (if you do, look into a2ps or mpage to put multiple
pages on one sheet)

^G is the bell character, whenever you do something that makes the console
beep you'll get one of these in the script output.
^H is backspace. Don't make mistakes, and you won't get it ;) ... Also,
now you can understand those jokes like "Be nice to the
idiots^H^H^H^H^H^Husers"
^M is the carriage return character. i don't know why you're getting it,
unless you used some editor to write your program that uses windows or mac
style EOL... Or if the program outputs windows or mac style EOL sequences.

Go for it. i won't even offer any suggestions, to let you see what you can
discover yourself.
