So, here is a revision that has the option to modify the /NF switch
by counting footnotes, headers, footers, any embedded text (just the
text, not nested formatting). Instructions are in the new Help
screen, also below.

Carl,
Very fine revision. The routine works perfectly and it's an example of
the pure XyWrite style: power and flexibility. There is a spelling
mistake in you help frame: "FM1" and "FM2" should be "FN1" and "FN2".
And, it's obvious, users must delete the previous version of the U2
Countchars routine before adding the new one.
I have discovered a minor detail we can think about. The routine counts
the number of the note in text (OK, it's a printed character) but it
doesn't count the page number, if present, in the header/footer. I think
this is the right approach to the matter but I would like to hear George
Scithers about this point.

Anyhow, congratulations again.
Best regards,
Manuel Castelao
