Hello NetPeople,

Is it possible to have TeX recognize two consecutive ^^M's in order to
leave a blank line?  Maybe I'm missing the point completely, but though I
issue \obeylines, it still gobbles blank lines because ^^M simply get's
defined to \par and two \par's are as good as one.

More generally, how is it possible to have TeX retain those blank lines,
e.g.:

	line one

	line two

where the line between "line one" and "line two" will come out being
equivalent to "\vskip\baselineskip"?

N.B.: I would still like to retain the function of \obeylines, i.e., one ^^M
functions as \par, but I would also like two ^^M's to skip by \baselineskip.

Again...thanks for any help,
