And here is the promised summary:

It seems that the concensus response has been some form of DO-LOOP that checks
each character for a space and writes to the string if it is non-space.  The
counter used to place in the string is then your length.  A simple hack, but
not nearly so much fun as an actual function.

Anyway, thanks to all.  Especially those submitting code fragments.  Certainly
saves on the typing.  Now if I could just cobble up a user interface that
maintains my domain name server files...
