[TxMt] get character count in current doc or selection?

[Brooks Seymore]

The number of bytes in your document is a pretty close approximation  
to how many characters are in your document. The string 12345678910  
is eleven bytes, but when you hit return a new line character is  
created so your document would then have twelve bytes. Accented  
characters, such as é count as two bytes. This probably all goes out  
the window when one gets to Japanese and any other non-Roman language.
