what exactly does this do? the reference manual stinks!

INITIALIZE TALLY. INSPECT RPTLVL OF SCREEN1F-I TALLYING TALLY FOR ALL "?"
my guess is that TALLY is incremented when RPTLVL is = ? is that correct?

Essentially, yes, with a minor change -- TALLY is incremented when each character "?" is found in RPTLVL.

That is, it's not when [RPTLVL is = ?] exactly, although that's a possibility. If RPTLVL is = "???xx?", then TALLY should become = 4.
