Hi Jeff

You might want to take a look at the cell counter plugin.  This plugin can
label and count at the same time and then you can just save the counter
window afterward, if desired.  It allows 4 types of features to be
counted.  It doesn't look like too difficult to add more types or change
the label.  Here is a link to the plugin and a page from the WCIF-ImageJ
manual.  Cheers.
