[PLUG] ls question... quick question

[Cooper Stevenson]

Robby;

Execute the following (minus the '$' sighn, that's just the prompt):

  $ du -hc /directory/to/view/size/of

Just to be super-cool, if you wish to see the list of files sorted from
the largest to the smallest, perform the following:

  $ du -k /directory/to/view/size/of | sort -rn | less

See the man page on du (man du) or drop an email on this list for
details about du.
