    What's the proper way to open or import a text file with hard-coded line
    breaks (contents reproduced below). I want each group of lines that end
    with a blank line to be grouped into a single paragraph. Opening the
    file as "Text" produces an Abi document with poem-like breaks (stanzas,
    rather than paragraphs, of text).

    ===BEGIN TEXT BLOCK===
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick
    brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox
    jumps over the lazy dog and ends Paragraph 1.

    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick
    brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and ends Paragraph 2.

    The story ends with this sentence and so does Paragraph 3.
    ===END TEXT BLOCK===
