lineoffset doesn't find empty lines

[Brian Yennie]

Keep in mind that all of these (cr&cr) methods will miss an empty line  
as the FIRST line. So you need to do something like:

function emptyOffset tText
	if (char 1 of tText is cr) then return 1
	else return lineOffset(cr&cr, tText)+1
end emptyOffset
