Workaround for "Expected expression but found end of line" error

Question

I have the following code
tell application "Mail"
set mymailList to {"[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"}
set myattachmentList to {"Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A1.xls", "Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A2.xls", "Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A3.xls"}
set n to count items in mymailList
set i to 0
repeat n times
set i to i + 1
set var1 to item i of mymailList
set var2 to item i of myattachmentList as alias
set newmessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Report", content:"Blah Blah Blah"}
tell newmessage
set sender to "Sam <[email protected]>"
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:var1}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:var2} at after last paragraph
end tell
activate
send newmessage
end repeat
end tell
I would like to be able to paste the MailList and MailAttatchmentList values from a spreadsheet so that it would look something like this:
tell application "Mail"
set mymailList to {
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]"
set myattachmentList to {
"Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A1.xls",
"Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A2.xls",
"Macintosh HD:Users:SAM:Desktop:A3.xls"
set n to count items in mymailList
set i to 0
repeat n times
set i to i + 1
set var1 to item i of mymailList
set var2 to item i of myattachmentList as alias
set newmessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Report", content:"Blah Blah Blah"}
tell newmessage
set sender to "Sam <[email protected]>"
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:var1}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:var2} at after last paragraph
end tell
activate
send newmessage
end repeat
end tell
Is there something that I can put at the end of each value so that I avoid the "Expected expression but found end of line" error?
Thanks!
Sam

You didn't need to post the entire script - just an example of the list format would have done
Anyway, AppleScript uses option-return as a 'soft' return/line continuation character, so:
set mymailList to {¬
"[email protected]",¬
"[email protected]",¬
"[email protected]"¬
(where ¬ indicates an option-return) will work. I'm just not sure off hand how you'd automatically insert option-return characters coming out of Excel...
