Inspired by Yves function I wrote this:

function removeDoubles theLines
   replace LF with "|" & "x" & LF in theLines
   split theLines using LF and "|"
   return keys( theLines )
end removeDoubles

Add sort() if you want.

You can replace the "|" above with numToChar(3) and it works, but null 
causes Revolution to have trouble.

That loses order, though.  Do you want to keep order?
