Put data in lines

[Björnke von Gierke]

I always found arrays to be confusing, that's why I prefer this method :

on mouseUp
   put "Arb.rec:0=234:1=456789:2=657483:3=4:4=3456473:5=1:6=0: " & CRLF 
into x
   replace ":" with return in x
   replace "=" with space in x
   put line 2 to -2 of x
end mouseUp

A problems with using arrays like that is that i will shuffle the lines 
around somewhat randomly. Also note that my approach is about 7 times 
faster (not sure if it's the itemDelimiter stuff, or the array handling 
itself that is slower).

have fun
