Yep, that means that PARSE successfully made it through the
whole string.
To break up your paragraphs, copy out the parts thru each
paragraph ending, like this:
pb: copy []
parse paragraphs [
some [
copy part [thru {.^/} | thru {."^/} | thru "." end]
(append pb part)
]
]
pb
== ["First paragraph.^/" {Second "paragraph."
} "Third paragraph."]

No pain whatsoever. I like trying to help.
