Need further information
What do you mean by "enable RSS on them"? Do you want to create feeds for your own content, or do you want to embed external feeds from other sites?
For embedding, Drupal core has Aggregator, and a more robust module is SimpleFeed
For Drupal 4... you should really consider upgrading to Drupal 5 or 6, as 4 is no longer supported.

Built in, or Views
Ah... That functionality, depending on how you use your site, is already built in. If you use the default front page for Drupal, there is a feed for that already provided at yoursite.com/rss.xml ... you can enable the Syndicate block which includes a link to it, or just link to it manually wherever you want. You can edit a few settings for this default feed at admin/content/rss-publishing.
If you're not using the default front page, then you can create a custom feed of the exact content you want using Views. Here's one post that talks about it: http://drupal.org/node/167205
Or try this search for more info: http://drupal.org/search/node/rss+feed

I see one big block of text,
I see one big block of text, single entry in the feed...
The solution is you need to use Views module to make a custom feed of exactly the content that you want to have in the feed. All you do is make a standard Views display like any other Views display, but instead of the usual "Page" or "Block" type, you choose "Feed". Give the feed an appropriate Path depending on what it's for... e.g. yoursite.com/latest/feed (or you can have it pretend to make a file name, e.g. yoursite.com/latest/rss.xml)
