A little help with SED and embedded ^M please.

I have an SED problem (I think) and I would like to get som feedback
on how to do this. It is pretty trivial I think, but I am new to SED.
I have a text file of this form:
BEGIN
1
2
3
END
BEGIN
4
5
6
END
This goes on for about 200 records. What I want to do is extract the
numbers, in the same sequence as in the original, and write them out to
a new file. Obviously, the result should be:
1
2
3
4
5
6
.
.
.
Also, I have recently had text files that have an emmbeded ^M char
at the end of every line. I know this has something to do with
CR/LF conversion. But how do I get rid of it? Thanks.
Rod.
