%
%% FILE_ROW_COUNT counts the number of row records in a file.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Each input line is a "RECORD".
%
%    The records are divided into three groups:
%    
%    * BLANK LINES (nothing but blanks)
%    * COMMENT LINES (begin with a '#')
%    * DATA RECORDS (anything else)
%
%    The value returned by the function is the number of data records.
%
%    By the way, if the MATLAB routine FGETS is used, instead of
%    FGETL, then the variable LINE will include line termination 
%    characters, which means that a blank line would not actually
%    have zero characters.

%% MESH_BASE_ONE ensures that the element definition is one-based.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The ELEMENT_NODE array contains nodes indices that form elements.
%    The convention for node indexing might start at 0 or at 1.
%    Since a MATLAB program will naturally assume a 1-based indexing, it is
