[h-e-w] replacing NEWLINE or LFD

I've seen it mentioned in various places how to search for an unprintable character such as a TAB or NEWLINE, but I have not been able to find reference on how to replace something with one of these characters.

Specifically, I have some text that has the NEWLINEs stripped out of the text and I would like to put it back. The text is formatted such that a regexp will suit my needs.  The minibuffer accepts TABS from the TAB key, but RETURN ends the replacement sequence.  '\n' does not work in the replacement field. 

Thanks in advance
