There is a DA called (appropriately enough) "GREP.wc", for GREP/word count. 
The version I have is v1.1, it is freeware, and I believe I got it from 
GEnie...but my memory is not too clear on that.

It performs GREP-like functions and is capable of working on any text file, 
as well as MacWrite 4.5 files.

If you are unable to locate a copy, EMAIL me and I will make sure one gets 
to you either by direct modem hookup or by US Mail.
