To be honest here I'm not a Tiger user. In fact I don't even use MacOs much at the moment - Part of a vast eternal plan that hasn't come together yet. However I am a long time Linux/Unix user and if you get to a terminal and type :- find . | wc You should get there columns of numbers. the first two will be the number of files. What you've said is "find the name of everything from here on down and pass it them to wc (wordcount)". Wordcount gives you the number of lines, words and characters in the input you give it. Hope this helps.
