It's actually more like:

d                 - delete until...
/<space><space>   - search for two spaces
{!}               - run a shell command on the current paragraph
fmt               - that shell command is named "fmt".

Try replacing the "fmt" with:

	fmt -1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

or

	wc -c

The former gives you a list of the words in the paragraph and their
frequency used (roughly), and the latter counts the words.
