Thanks to all who helped.  I have been in Windows land for too 
long, thus the front slash.  When I used \n it worked just fine.

To Brian:
Many thanks, I actually was looking for line breaks not paragraph 
breaks: they clearly occurred in the middle of a sentence and 
once I went back to Linux land (in my thoughts) and used 
backslash  "\n", it worked fine.

I never tried $ as \n worked but thanks to Michael and Wiebe.
