problem with counting words

[Mark Schonewille]

"Larry",

"From the "word" entry:"

"Comments:
A word is delimited by one or more spaces, tabs, or returns, or enclosed 
by double quotes. A single word can contain multiple characters and 
multiple items, but not multiple lines.

Note: Words are delimited by double quotes ("), but not by curved quotes 
(""). LiveCode does not treat curved quotes as quotes."
