last line blues

I have an interesting problem whereby I cannot delete the last line of a
fld. These flds contains text files that were read in and placed into
fld "a". Fld a is then purged of all empty lines, except that it would
always delete my last line.

I ran it a few times without removing the empty line and I found that
there was indeed an empty line there, but when it can to deleteing it it
would not only delete the last line but the line above it also. This
line has no space or cr in it that I can see but for some reason I just
can't delete the last line with losing the second to last as well.

I made a small script that beeps when the user clicks on any line thats
either empty or has just a space in it. It beeps on every single empty
line except the last one. AArrggg.

Thanks.
