I've asked quite a few emacs questions here and the answers have always
been helpful. Recently I learned that emacs can do the same thing as the wc
tool: report the number of lines, words, and characters in the buffer. So I
offer the solution for those even less knowledgeable than I on emacs
capabilities.

   Highlight the document (or portion of interest) by setting the mark
(ctrl-spacebar here), navigate to the end of the block to be reported, and
press M-= (here the Meta key is the Esc key).

   Hope that someone, sometime finds this useful, too.
