Len source code: 331 bytes
Len exe file:    283 bytes
Len code only:   283 bytes

Instructions:
Install VICE, run C64 emulator, drag prg file into a running VICE C64 emulator window

Description:
I use abbreviations for all commands and where it saves bytes I use PRINT LEFT$ to print sections of a predefined string (A$) instead of mannually typing lots of *

Comments:
I got it down from 15 lines (the original code from Logiker) to 5 lines then 3 which I am pleased with. I used CBMprj Studio to create this and may have found a bug: The character count for each line doesn't increase when it sees * characters or tags like {return}. Using this bug I was able to create a single line version but the resulting code was 2 bytes longer than my submission.
