Have you tried the following method (condition is "line empty")  :
on mouseUp
   set the cursor to watch
   put the long seconds into tStart
   put fld "Data" into tVar
   repeat while tVar contains (return & return)
   	replace (return & return) with return in tVar
   end repeat
   put tVar into fld "output"
   put the long seconds - tStart into fld "timer1"
end mouseUp
