Well, you can speed that up by always operating on the first line of
tText, as in:
newString = EMPTY
temp = tText
repeat with i = 1 to tLines
aLine = temp.line[1]
--modify aLine
put aLine after newString
delete line 1 of temp
end repeat
I'm pretty sure that would be slower, since each time you delete from the beginning of a string,
everything after it is moved to the fill the data structure from the front.
