I get this exactly.

I did not get this but got:

        240 fnt1
        0 13396(1.)m 240 fnt3 284 13395(The)m 739(T)s 17(ransfer)k

        4058(to)s 4312(Machine)s 240 fnt1 5490 13396(..)m 5834(..)s

and earlier I got:

        /Times-Boldfnt3 vec2 /Times-Bold LoutRecode
        /fnt3 { /Times-Boldfnt3 LoutFont } def
        0.0500 dup scale 10 setlinewidth

I presume that you mean the files, langdefs, bsf, dsf and docf, which
are in /usr/lib/lout/include/ on my system and I have not changed
these; in fact I've changed none of the files in the include/
directory. In the example, I use only the uncommented lines from the
original include/doc file, adding the following:

        @Use { @DocumentSetup @MakeContents     { Yes } }

It should not matter but I am using lout-3.24 on a Debian sarge system
with kernel 2.6.8.
