Deleting (Only) First Blank Line in File

[Tim Evans]

Can someone help me to delete the _first_ occurring blank line of a file
(whereever it occurs) without deleting subsequent ones?

You'd think the following would work, but it doesn't:

	sed 's/^$//1' foo > newfoo

Solutions other than those using 'perl' are preferred.

Thanks
