I realize that this is *very* off topic, however everyone here has helped
me in the past, so I'll as those I consider friends first.

I am trying to use 'sed' to go through a file and replace all occurrences
of the '&' character with a <newline> or <return>, so that text like this:

email_address=username@isp.com&computer_type=Macintosh&Modemspeed=288

will look like this:

email_addres=username@isp.com
computer_type=Macintosh
Modemspeed=288

I have been using the following:

sed s/\&\/\n\/g filename >filename2
sed s/\&\/\\n\/g filename >filename2

as well as many undocumented attempts at this.  The result always seems to
be:

email_address=username@isp.comncomputer_type=MacintoshnModemspeed=288

As you see the '&' gets replaced but not with the '\n' (newline?) but with
the character n.

Help please....

Greg Evans
