[GreenKeys] TTY word counter

[Richard Knoppow]

    Thank you. I've been interested in Teletype since I was in my early 
teens but never had the time or space or money for it.  Maybe time I 
acquired an actual machine I could play with.  Of course, I have 
computer programs like MTTY and can read radio or on line stuff on my 
computer but its really not the same.
