Deleting lines within a 'repeat for each' loop

Martin, Dar, et al:

I use this approach in maintaining SDB indexes:

For example, SDB Server maintains a locked record index with a format 
of recordId & tab & clientId & return for each lock.  When a client 
logs off, the sever updates the locked record index like so--

	set item delimiter to tab
	put empty into newList
	put lockedRecordList[sdbDbId] into oldList
	repeat for each line lockedRecord in oldList
		if item 2 if lockedRecord is sdbClientId then next repeat
		put lockedRecord& return after newList
	end repeat
	put newList into lockedRecordList[sdbDbId]
