Hallo -
I just found out that MacTeX / TeXLive 2008 contains the command
"texcount" that can be used to count words of a LaTeX-file. It can
handle included files and produces an html-file with its results.
I think that it works much better than "detex" that is used in TeXShop
internally for the Edit -> Statistics Menu-Item
Below you can find an "TeXShop-Engine" that counts the words of
your .tex-file and produces two html-files with the results. And opens
them.
Thought this might be interesting for others who need to count words....

Content of my .engine file in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/texcount.engine:
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
set filename = "$1"
set htmlname = "${filename:r}-texcount.html"
set htmlname2 = "${filename:r}-texcount-short.html"
# all details
# run texcount and produce an html-file with the result
texcount -html -inc -v "$1" > "$htmlname"
#open the html-file
open "$htmlname"
# only the counts
# run texcount and produce an html-file with the result
texcount -html -inc -v0 "$1" > "$htmlname2"
#open the html-file
open "$htmlname2"
#end of the "engine"
