As I said, I think it would be more correct to count the length of the
text/string after it has been processed by the currently established
ExportHook. Just counting the characters in the Contents variable
doesn't guarantee that it is correct.

In fact, it would simple do what you are currently doing yourself. Call
ExportTest(), do a strlen(), and FreeVec() it again and then return the
length. Nothing more really.

YAM for AROS will take some time, I am afraid. In fact, I haven't even
tested the cross-compiler TextEditor.mcc for AROS yet. Do you have a
running cross-compiler for AROS? If so, I would highly appreciate it if
you could compile TE.mcc for AROS with the current sources and see if it
still runs fine.
