wordcount fileNames
The wordcount program counts the number of lines and words in the indicated files, and prints a summary on its standard output. Great for giving yourself strokes when in paper-writing mode; even moderately useful for that purpose when in program-writing mode.
Extension courtesy of Rick Beach: running wordcount will also register a button (named WC) that counts the number of lines, words, and characters in the current selection.
As far as wordcount is concerned, a word is a sequence of alphanumeric characters. For example ``Mary-Claire'' counts as two words, ``KAL007'' counts as one word.
