Haven't tested this, but something like this in csh (or a csh-like shell)
% wc -l `ls | grep -v '\.'`
run in the lists directory.
This will count the addresses in multiple lists multiple times, which may
not be what you want. To avoid that you have to actaully do some parsing
of addresses to see if they are equivalant, for which perl would be the
right tool.
