A slightly disturbing problem about items

[Jim Ault]

Quick follow up note:

Using a  †  as a lineFeed character would also make
....the number of items
....the number of lines
..>  yield the number you would want when the last item/line is empty

Further, this would work no matter what you set the itemDel to be, as long
as it was not  †
Therefore, tab lists would be easier to access, and I would imagine table
fields that were not completely filled, etc.

Beyond Rev, external data sources would automatically be converted to the
same number of readable lines and items.  This 1-to-1 match is important in
my work.

(note: you will likely want to remove the  †  before exporting to other
programs which don't need it or expect it.)

I use Applescript and Apple Events to access spreadsheet ranges from Rev and
often the last column or row is empty.  This sometimes causes problems, and
this technique fixes that.
