Reverse a list

[Jerry Jensen]

Just a thought, untested.

Change the first two executable lines to:
split p by cr
put the number of lines of the keys of p into tNumElems

That way instead of having to spin through the entire data twice counting lines, once for the number of lines and again for split,
it would only spin all the way through once (during split) and then a much faster run counting keys.

This probably won't make a measurable difference if its only executed once, unless the data is really large.
