how to clear out all the extra line breaks in a few easy steps.

Acutually, my question isn't so much about how to open and save the 'txt'
files. It's about how to make them readable during the conversion from 'txt'
to ebook format. This is especially true when I port the ebooks over to my
handheld device.

For short articles I can manually remove all of the hard line breaks. But
for a novel, this is impossibly long. With the hard breaks in place, the
resulting ebook is not formatted in the smooth, justified paragraphs that we
see in most ebooks.
