I'm trying to get emacs to be able to count words. From the web I've seen
that the way to do this is to edit a file called .emacs. But when I had
finder search "everywhere" for a file called .emacs it claims that there
are no such files. Can anyone help?



<AKH> Because it starts with a dot ("."), the Finder will normally ignore the existence of such files.


Like all other Unix preference files that start with a dot, .emacs, if present, is supposed to be in your home directory. If it doesn't exist, you can create it.

As an aside, what I'm trying to do is count the number of words in a .tex
document which I'm converting to a pdf via pdflatex. Is there a way to
make preview count words? Tools -> GetInfo doesn't do this.
