Use ASCII 10. Alt+shift plus 1 and then 0 from the numeric keypad.

Let us say you wish to replace Jack plus carriage return with Jill plus carriage
return.

Your XPL program would then be BC ci /ck/il. ASCII 10 will look
like a mini circle on your screen, with colors the reverse of those of the tab
character (actually ASCII 9) that you can see in expanded mode.
