[TYPO3] Unable to get the correct register: value!

[Surer Dink]

Peter,
  Thank you for your response.  I have seen a previous post by you in
the archives that describes this procedure - I understand that
count_menuItems is a temp register that is clobbered by every menu.  
As I mention, I have been unable to get LOAD_REGISTER to work in any
way with the example code I posted.  No matter what I try, the
LOAD_REGISTER appears to either get no value or a random menu's value,
no matter where I place it.  If you believe this can be accomplished
with LOAD_REGISTER, can you please explain how to modify my code to do
so?
