I would like to have some way of listing the sizes of directories,
subdirectories, and grand totals for the directory and subdirectories,
while not listing the individual files within same. Oh, this is for
a UNIX system by the way (Silicon Graphics).
Thanks for whatever help you can give. Apologies if there is already
some way to do this in UNIX, but I've made a real effort to find it and can't.
(Why is it that the docs are written to be understandable only if you're
already an expert ... ? )

I found it with man -k using disk directory and file. man -k is very useful and so is the kwic list. Michael Salmon L.M.Ericsson Stockholm
