I put that wrong. In TE+, there is no longer such a thing as a paragraph

So the "set size of character 1" command simply had no list item on which

Oh dear. I went and muddled this. I was right the first time, and wrong
here. As Xandra said,
(every paragraph of document 1 whose length = 0)
--> {"", "", "", "", ""}
But there is no character 1 for any of these paragraphs. I guess TE+ has a
silent facilitation (like some things in the Finder) that just passes over
'character 1 of ""' in the list, instead of erroring.
I must stop having these public conversations with myself, but just wanted
to get this right.
