The above still forces Revolution to figure out where each line of the variable is in
order to insert the modified line. At the cost of extra memory, this will be much
faster (factor of 40 for 5000 lines on my machine):
set the itemDelimiter to tab
put field 1 into tVar
put empty into tNewVar
put 0 into tNum
repeat for each line L in tVar
add 1 to tNum
put tNum & tab & (item 2 to -1 of L) & cr after tNewVar
end repeat
put char 1 to -2 of tNewVar into field 1
