Ok, probably too late to mention this (and may be repetitive) but I always thought what we were counting was the "non-white-space" in the script. The way I was doing that was with Microsoft Word and the "wordcount" option in the Tools menu. Specifically the Character Count reported under that. If I take Howards script, and strip-out the comments, I get a count of 385 characters. Does that make sense ? Why the descrepency ?

Sorry for bumping this to the top again - but I mean, we should sort this out because, by my reckoning, we got two scripts that report different results, yeah ?

ps. oops. is that because your are counting the whitespace inside quotes, right ?
