I have a problem with OzTeX 1.3.  If I say `\def\foo#1\par{...}',
and then say `\foo text\par', I get #1 as four tokens, `t', 
`e', `x', and `t'.

BUT, if instead I say `\foo text^^M^^M' (either just like that 
or by actually pressing two returns), I get five tokens---the 
obvious four and a trailing blank space.

What's the matter?
