How to find out the size of more files?

[Steve Holmes]

To do this, use the 'ls' and 'du' commands.  First, type 'man ls' to
give you all the available options; the 'ls' command lists out the
files in question.  Again, read the man page for this, you will learn
much much more than what we spoon feed you here from the list.

The 'du' command lists disk usage by directory.  When it lists the
size of '.', the current directory, that is inclusive of all subdirs
under that one.  Again, the man page gives you all sorts of options
for this command as well.  I personally don't remember them off the
top of my head but I know I can always find them in the man page.
Again 'man du' will provid you with this information.

Remember, leave out the tick marks from the examples above.
