I'm brand new to BBEdit (love it!) and am trying to write a simple
search and replace script.  For now, I'm just trying to get it to find
and replace "</p><p>" with two carriage returns.

The following AppleScript compiles but it doesn't actually do
anything:

tell application "BBEdit"
  tell text of front text window
    replace "</p><p>" using "\\r\\r"
  end tell
end tell

There does seem to be something flaky here. Some things I tried worked and others didn't. Try this:

tell application "BBEdit"
  activate
  set _doc to make document with properties ¬
    {contents:"<p>a</p><p>b</p><p>c</p>"}
  replace "</p><p>" using "\\r\\r" searching in _doc
end tell

Eventually I'd like to get it to replace text in all open windows.

Simple:

replace "</p><p>" using "\\r\\r" searching in every document
