Default Count of characters

Hi Folks!

This is based on another post in the .misc group that I
was involved in earlier today. It was about limiting the
number of characters that can be entered into a cell.

Anyhow, what I would like is to have the number of
characters counted as they are being typed. Is that
possible?

For example, A1 is to be filled in by the user. The max
number of characters permitted is 50. Can cell B1 be used
as an accumulator as the user types in cell A1? This way
the user can see how many characters they have typed and
how many more they can continue to type.

Biff
