Without a tab to indicate the paragraph break, yes, it would seem very
hard. Since all line breaks are hard, that the user pressed return
cannot be encoded in the text. The user's pressing of tab could,
however. But, MicroEd does not use tab characters; it converts them
into spaces.

Basically, a line wrap and a new paragraph look identical unless there
is a tab or some other paragraph marker. Consequently, the program
cannot differentiate between a line wrap and a new paragraph.
