Tried this in the message box: put the number of lines in ("This is a test" & CR)
=>1

The transcript does what it should. The confusion is that the CR is part of the line that it ends, not the second line whose existence it seems to imply.

Here's the
stuff I found when I put (CR & CR & "This is a test" & CR & CR) into a field
and then ran the original code:

 put fld "transcript" into tFinalTranscript

 # clean up extra lines at beginning and end

 repeat while ((line 1 of tFinalTranscript) is empty)
    delete line 1 of tFinalTranscript
 end repeat

 repeat until ((the last line of tFinalTranscript) is not empty)
    delete the last line of  tFinalTranscript
 end repeat

 put tFinalTranscript
 exit to top


- It removed all the CRs from the beginning of the string
- I removed the only one of the CRs from the end of the string

Leaving me with:  "This is a test" & CR
