Nice!  That almost fixed it.  But, I think the documentation is a bit
wrong.  Try this:

* Item One
* Item Two
* Item Three

* Item Four
* Item Five

Try to hit M-<RET> at the end of Item Three.  Even though there are no
blanks before Three, it will still add the blank.  It looks forward as well
as backward.
M-<RET> after Item Four will also add the blank.  It's not a big deal, just
a slight documentation issue.  Now that I know how it behaves, I can make it
do what I want easily :)

Perfect!  Fixed and fixed!
