Beginner's Lisp Question

[Rasmus Pank Roulund <rasmus.pank@gmail.com>]

Hey,
This is probably a rather stupid question.
Either way, I use the texcount.pl script to count words in LaTeX document.
The output is something like this:

      FILE: hist_pol_oko.tex
      Words in text: 3811
      Words in headers: 43
      Words in float captions: 0
      Number of headers: 7
      Number of floats: 0
      Number of math inlines: 0
      Number of math displayed: 0

I have added the following to my .emacs file

      (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
       (list "Count Words" "texcount.pl %s.tex"
       'TeX-run-command nil t)
      )

First, when I have Count Words from within AUCTeX the status line displays
"Count Words: Done". Instead, I would like it to display the number of 
words. In the example above it would be "3811 words".

Second, would also be nice, if Emacs would be able to do a calculation. 
I.e. "3811 words and 10.88 normal page(s)". The second figure would be 
calculated by dividing 3811 with 350.

Third, I would be nice if I could define a alias for the "Count Words" 
command. I.e. "Wordcount" and "Count Words" would run the same script. I 
was only able to find

    (defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)

in the "Learning GNU Emacs", and as far as I can tell it would not work 
with this kind of command.

I am sorry for asking so many questions, but I am really unfamiliar with 
Lisp.

Thanks a bunch,
Rasmus
