Visible Newline Characters (possible?)

[Wayne Newberry]

After perusing all the areas I know of to look, it appears
to me that there is no way to make the newline character show
up on the screen as a visible character of any kind.

My problem is that I would like to be able to see whether there
are trailing spaces at the end of lines of text. While I know
that setting the current point to the end of a line will show
me this for that line, I would like a visible way to show any
and all trailing spaces for all lines on the screen.

Can anyone either confirm that this is impossible, or point me
in the direction of an answer?

Thanks,

Wayne

Now that it is mentioned: Is it possible to show spaces and tabs? It
would be nice to be able to easily distinguish those. I know of
indent-tabs-mode, that's not what I'm looking for.

I just built Lemacs 19.6 for Solaris 2(.2) but is segment faults
when I run "m-x compile". Has anybody else seen this?

Many Thanks
