Does anyone know of a native rev. method to obtain the size of a file

What's the objection to using 'the detailed files'?
It was added to the language specifically to provide what you're
looking for.
It's clumsy and long winded.
Revolution allows you to write your own custom commands and functions,
so you can get the exact info you want in a call as simple as:
get FileSize(pFilePath)
Since it only takes a minute to write the dozen or so lines needed, I'll
go ahead and do that for you:
function FileSize pPath
set the itemdel to "/"
put urlEncode(last item of pPath) into tShortFileName
delete last item of pPath
put the directory into tSaveDir
set the directory to pPath
put the detailed files into tFiles
set the directory to tSaveDir
set the itemdel to comma
put lineoffset( cr&tShortFileName&comma, cr&tFiles) into tLineNum
if tLineNum > 0 then
put line tLineNum of tFiles into tLine
return item 2 of tLine + item 3 of tLine
end if
end FileSize
Now you can drop than handy function into a library somewhere and use it
whenever you need it.
