Thanks to everyone who got in touch. My problem was that I was looking for size in "all movies" in the finder when I really needed to look at the folder "movies" in my home directory. Once I opened that folder, the event subfolders' size could be interrogated using command-I. By day, I am a unix programmer and could have used the ls -l command but I am still trying to get up to speed on the Mac OS. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
