the line breaks there are in this shell in the ³do shell² command.
You have to say something like this:

"echo " & someText & " | sed -e 's|,|\\" & (ASCII character 10) & ¬
	"|5" & (ASCII character 10) & ¬
	":loop" & (ASCII character 10) & ¬
	"s|\\(.*\\),\\(.*\\n\\)|\\1~\\2|;tloop" & (ASCII character 10) & ¬
	"s|\\n|~|' "

You send one long multiline string with UNIX lineendings. Very messy.

Hopefully a future upgrade of Applescript will include some sort of
"meta-quote" system for sending shell scripts from Applescript.
