vi macro with carriage return

I am trying to map some keys in vi on the Unix-PC and am having
a problem that seems peculiar to this machine's version of vi.
If I map a key to something containing a ctrl-M or carriage return,
the ^M gets echoed but not interpreted. How can I tell vi to interpret
the control characters?
Eg:
map N :w^M:n^M
(where the ^M represents a ctrl-V followed by an M)
maps the Shifted N to the sequence :w\n:n\n
This works fine on various flavors of unix-vi, but on the Unix-PC,
the characters appear on the vi command line & they just sit there waiting
for me to press return.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Tanya
