subject: Re: Wordwrap problem

From: "Sammy Mitchell" 
I fired up a copy of 2.0, set RemoveTrailingWhite off, set autoindent to
sticky, set wordwrap on, set the right margin to 20, and typed a few
paragraphs, separated by blank lines, and I did not get spaces on the blank
lines between paragraphs - there were, however, spaces at the end of each
line in the paragraphs, except on the last line of the paragraph, which is
what I would have expected.
How do I duplicate your problem? (in as few keystrokes as possible!)
Regardless, you could write a custom creturn macro, and have it remove
spaces on the current and following lines, if the lines are empty.
