# Reorder Message File
#

# Invocation:
# The code is invoked using the command line:

#
# Output is written to stdout.

    Removes leading and trailing empty lines.

    A list of strings is passed as argument, some of which may be empty.

    sequence of empty lines and returns the result.  Embedded sequences of
    empty lines are not touched.

    Parameters:
    lines List of strings to be modified.

    removed.
