I haven't run any of the LC scripts to do this but if that's true, then
they don't achieve the original objective of reversing the list.
I don't think it's true. Using LC scripts, the first and last lines will
be terminated by a CR and the line count won't change. The first and
last lines will have no values but are still terminated by a CR, which
is what determines the count.
