Or even

put theContent into tAfterVar
put 1 into x
repeat while the number of words in line 1 of tAfterVar is not 0
  put line 1 of tAfterVar into tBeforeArray[x]
  delete line 1 of tAfterVar
  add 1 to x
end repeat

Now you've got:
  the lines before the blank line in the array tBeforeArray, indexed
  by line number

  the lines after (and including) the blank line in tAfterArray
