Now that sounds like a challenge if ever I heard one.  You can do it 
with awk or perl.  I don't know if it can be done with sed.

I'm really too tired to play with it right now.  But here's something to 
chew on.

Take the approach that you're going to build a long string to print out.

Read one line at a time and append the lines together according to your 
set rules.

So you start off with:

while(<>) {

	chomp;
	$string .= $_;
	if ($string =~ /,,,,/) {
		$string .= $_;
	} else {
		$string .= "\n" . $string;
	}
}

Now that's just a start, it's not your final work.  But it can be done, 
I'm just too tired right now.
