Bet its a unix line end bug? But users might also find their answer
disappear, hit the up-arrow, and see their anser reappear, then hit submit.

In that case, getting the last para would give the wrong answer.
I would say:

set parcount to bad
while paracount bad
set resp to disp dialog ""
set paracount to paras of resp
end
