Page Hit Counter Vandalism & Writing FTP Results

[Peter F. Ferris]

True.  I could just report him to the manager, etc; etc. But I guess I'm
supposed to appreciate the intellectual challenge presented here.  %^} I've
politely asked him to cease, he has not.  He thinks he's being "funny" --
heeheehaahaa! Not to mention he's someone I'll "need" from time to time.
And I'm a PYTHON NEWBIE, I figured it would be a good exercise! ;-)

My real problem, clearly stated as I can:

I'm seeing the correct count from the file display on my screen, but I can
not 'catch'/assign it to a variable to write it to a file.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
