when deleting lines in data, you should start from the END of the data like:
...
repeat with i = the num of lines of tData DOWN to 1
if line i of tData = empty then
delete line i of tData
end if
end repeat
...

"repeat for each" is READ only, which means you cannot modify (or delete) the
value in X in your case!
X in this case will hold the CONTENT of the line and not its line number!
Change it like this and it will work:
...
repeat for each line X in tData
if X <> empty then
put X & CR after newData
end if
end repeat
delete char -1 of newData
put newData into tData
## Or just use newData from now on...

See above...

Mark, Richmond? :-)
