Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

[Timothy Bleiler]

Yes, Pierre that form does give a consistent count of the number of  
lines in the variable.

However, the question remains about why the sort command is moving the  
last cr to the first line which effectively adds a line at the  
beginning of the variable. If the sort command is treating the last CR  
as another line, then "number of lines in tTemp" should also and  
always return 3 in this example. There remains some ambiguity about  
how the engine treats the final dangling cr after "cat" in this  
example. If the first line is   Put "Dog" & cr & "Cat"  into tTemp  
then the problem doesn't occur. The biggest problem is that this is  
different behavior from previous versions of Rev. In prior versions,  
the number of lines in tTemp would always return 2 in the initial  
example.
