[PD] Number of Loaded Lines in a Text File Read by MSGFILE

[Mike McGonagle]

If I understand you correctly, you will need to iterate over the file,
counting each line as you iterate over it.
You could also try using one of the externals that handles shell commands
and then use 'wc' to count the words and lines in your file.
