Remove the \n from the command and the last line is removed. However, aren't all lines, including the last, unless in binary mode, appended with a newline? For example, write a new file such as above, cat it and you'll see a newline at the end (the shell prompt is on a new line). 'set list' shows the end of line marker ($) (as does 'cat -E'), but not specifically a newline marker. How to have vim show newlines with 'set list'? I don't see it in listchars.
