Does LabVIEW have a method to represent a VI in terms of "number of lines of code?"

Right click on the front panel icon and select vi properties... (for labview 5.x its under file menu). Then choose memory usage. You can get some stats here such as memory used by code, by front panel objects, by data.

Thanks for quick repsonse. It looks like the tradional manner of quantifying software code by "number of lines" is changing: e.g. LabVIEW only displays Memory Useage amounts. No problem, just have to update others as to the new and improved way.

You might want to look at the VI Metrics Tools available in the Professional Developers version. One thing it lists is the number or nodes. According to the toolkit documentation, nodes are analgous to statements, operators, and subroutine calls in conventional languages and gives a number comparable to source lines of code.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
