Sarah,

Aren't there possible issues if one changes the contents of the 
control variable inside a "repeat for each" structure?  For repeat 
for each to work in this case wouldn't one need to make a copy of the 
control variable for the repeat & make changes to the original?:

on fillBlanks variableList
   put 0 into lineNumber
   get variableList
   repeat for each line theLine in it
     add 1 to x
     if theLine is empty then put [whatEver] into line x of variableList
   end repeat
end fillBlanks

Jeremy,

What you are trying to do should work.

Can you show us the handler that empties a line and the exact
