disclaimer: i haven't programmed anything since grade 10 Pascal, and
i've forgotten most of that ... but i had thought it could be fairly
simple. Use the reg-exp to do a search for any long string of spaces,
if found, then insert blank line, and proceed to next character.
algorithm something like this:

if there is "                        "
then insert blank line

lol, no, i haven't, but i'm sure that would work fine! Quite an easy &
sensible solution, thanks Bill!
