>is the 'textfile' objext able to tell how many lines there in the file
, before going through all the lines?

regrettably, it isn't possible.  This is also a shortcoming of arrays,
samples, etc.  I can't figure out a clean way to add it (add an extra
outlet to everything!?  bind it to a symbol and have a separate object for
querying size!?  yuck!)

ideas, anyone?
