No need to enter carriage returns by hand any more. Give the
following program a try.

DX DP DE >DB >>>CD BD
*>XD CD CD DO 

Functions are in capital letters and the angle brackets should be
converted to guillemets, with the exception of the greater-than
argument following the if. And the asterisk should be replaced
by . I couldn't figure out how to
represent that and have it survive e-mail. Oh, and the program
should be on one line. That carriage return after BD is just for
sending the program through the mail.

Place your cursor somewhere within an undefined paragraph that
you want to add eols to after each line and run the program. Or
if you assign the program to a key, the cursor is positioned at
the start of the next paragraph when the program is finished, so
you can add eols to successive paragraphs by hitting the assigned
key repeatedly.

Give it a try. I'm using it at my end.
