If you are sure that no line has more than 99 characters in it, you
can do what you want in quicker ways:
on hundredwide thetext
somespaces = ""
repeat with a = 1 to 100
put space after somespaces
end repeat
repeat with a = 1 to the number of lines in thetext
thisline = space & line a of thetext & somespaces
put char 1 to 100 of thisline into line a of thetext
end repeat
return thetext
end
