You can't be using LC8dp15 or greater because all I have to do is type
in 'detaile' and the list of hits is reduced to 3 with the one you are
looking for quite visible. If I type 'detailed fi' there is only one
hit and it's clearly the one you want:
the [{ detailed | long }] files
Since dp15 the Dictionary has been very much improved. Even when
working in LC 6 or 7 I keep LC 8 open so I can use it's Dictionary
because it's search feature is better.

I generally find it a lot easier just to move the files I wish to work
on into a single folder, then declare that the defaultFolder. If there
is only one file in there then 'the detailed files' will report on the
one file. Alternatively you can always:
put shell("ls -l /hardDrive/User/Folder/FileToWorkOn.mbox") into tFileInfo
Look up 'shell' in the LC Dictionary for it's description
Use your favourite man page reader to look up all of the options for
the ls shell command
