Try this. This snippet of dtml calls the query GetResults (you may
need to modify this if your query expects arguments, etc.). It uses
the let tag to create a temporary 'results' variable containing the
result of the query. Then it uses _.len to figure out how many result
records were returned.

<dtml let results="GetResults()">
  There are <dtml-var "_.len(results)"> results.
  <p>
  <dtml-in results>
  ... format result item here ...
  </dtml-in>
</dtml-let>
