I know there is a way to tell how many words are in a text document, but 
I don't know what it is.  Can someone let me know?  Also, is there a way 
to do it from within vi?
And lastly, I've been trying to get StarOffice installed for the last 2 
months.  Should I scrap it and try with this 6.0 beta or keep at it with 
whatever this is I have?  And if I scrap it, do I just delete the files 
or is there some fancy way of doing it?  I've gotten all kinds of 
interesting error messages and warnings; if you want to know particulars 
it'll have to wait til I'm done writing my paper that's due tomorrow... 
which is why the word count is more important to me right now. ;)
