I tried using your suggestion and I got 0 for the number of results 
found.  In fact, 3 results were found and displayed.  My loop looks 
basically like this:

<dtml-in ArchiveCatalog size=numRecsShow start=qs>
       <dtml-if sequence-start>
          <dtml-var count-nnn> documents found matching your query: ...
       </dtml-if>
       [...]
</dtml-in>

Am I overlooking something obvious?

Thanks.
