This should also work if you're not index/counting the items,
but using a hash/association type structure for tracking the
members.
You've probably figured this out by now ( or just looked it up in
some reference. :-) ), but I just did a test and confirmed that QUEUED()
returns the # of lines in the queue, and not the # of characters.
This should eliminate any need to put the count back on the top
of the queue.
Since the things are global not just to the program, but to the OS,
you should never have to EXPOSE the queue itself (and probably can't),
just a variable holding it's name.
