On that last post...

   I did neglect to mention a few things about the style sheet I just
posted for counting lines in a play, sorting and printing them.
   I didn't test it on a very large instance, so I'm not sure how it
will perform.  My concern is the heavy use of recursive procedures.
However, tail-recursion (a feature of Scheme systems which allows them
to turn a recursive procedure into a non-recursive loop under the
right circumstances, if I understand it correctly) should help in
almost all of the cases here.  I think the main qsort procedure is the
only one where tail-recursion might not be possible, due to the double
call to itself at the bottom (where it calls itself to sort each of
the two sub-lists).
   Any comments or suggestions from those on the list more versed in
these issues are welcomed.
