Script not accepting empty line

[Sarah Reichelt]

I don't know if this will help in your case, but as a general rule, 
using a "repeat for each" loop is much faster. If you are only dealing 
with 10 lines, it won't really matter, but you may deal with more data 
later

Here is an example - untested but should be right or nearly so :-)

on newAddNew
   put empty into newVariable
   repeat for each line L in variable
     if L is empty then
       -- insert the new data in place of the empty line
       put newData & cr after newVariable
     else
       put L & cr after newVariable
     end if
   end repeat
   delete last line of newVariable  -- extra cr
end newAddNew
