Repeat until (0r "while") not working

[Geoff Canyon]

Others have answered the question of why your code might not be  
working. As to (possible) better methods, I like this one:

put word 1 to -1 of tString into tString

Note that this will also remove any leading whitespace on the first  
line that contains text, and any trailing whitespace on the final  
line that contains text, and any lines that contain only spaces or tabs.

gc
