That depends a lot on how you define paragraph. If they all start with
tabs, something like:

sed '/^<^VTAB>/ i\
\<^VTAB>
' myfile

Where you use ^VTAB to insert some literals tabs on the commandline. I
couldn't seem to convince sed to insert an empty line, but I didn't play
around with it all that long.

If you need more sophisticated paragraph detection (like based on the
previous line not being some number of characters or some kind of period
to capital letter thing or something), you're going to spend a lot more
time mucking through it.
