-> Oh, sorry. What I'd like to to is count the incidences of words
-> in a document. For example in the above quote, there are 3
-> "you", 2 "are", 1 "XPL", and so on.

Are you running XyWrite under OS/2 perchance? If so, there's a
utility called UNIQUE.EXE, by Michael Kimes, that may fit the bill.
Just for fun, I ran it against the Gettysburg Address; here's the
output:

Add the Xy-OS/2 Shell, and output can be imported directly into a Xy
text window. And it's fast.
