I am renting and need to keep my prim count under a certain level, so I thought I would write a counter to inform me how many prims I've used. I can't find any way to get object information from an object I click on though, without putting a script inside every object I create. What I want to do is click on an object and read the the number of prims it contains. Is this possible?
If not, is there some other way for me to know how many prims I have within a certain radius?

You can always see how many prim are on the lot.
If you want to see how many are in one area such as just your house or store then right click/edit and then draw a box around the area. It wil show how many prim have been picked.
If you want to see how many prim are in one object then just right/click edit.

I don't think it's possible to do exactly what's desired, but one can find out about the total number of prims one owns on a parcel, using llGetParcelPrimOwners() --except that the object containing the script has to be owned by the owner of the parcel; if it's group land, then the scripted object needs to be deeded to the group to keep working when the group "Owners" aren't online. (Not sure whether it works for land owned by an individual while that individual isn't online.)
(Of course, there's the manual approach: the "General" tab of the Editor tells how many prims an individual object contains--or all the objects selected. So if one has "Select Only My Objects" in the Tools menu, zooms back, and just drags a box around everywhere one's stuff might be found, it'll give counts of objects and prims.)

llGetObjectPrimCount(key id) returns the number of prims for object id. Getting a concise list of objects within a defined area is difficult, because of the 16-object limitation of a sensor. If you just want one object's prim count, and by clicking on the object, I would say try something like firing a projectile at the object that tells you how many prims make up the object it hits.

I'm very new, so of course after I posted my question I found out about the manual approach. That will do for now, but my main interest in SL is learning scripting, and I do sort of like the idea of firing a "counting gun" at objects. Might be fun to try and write something like that. Thanks for the idea -- I may be back with more questions about projectiles.
This is a great forum, responses are very fast and helpful. Thanks much.
