Subject: Directory size
I tell ya; I am so excited.
I was going to write a message to ya' all asking how to tell the a
directories size. Then my mind starte t a-whirl. I thought:

free
No..... That's a memory thing. Then I thought:

df
Maybe. It shows the size of the disk. Let's throw a directory onto
thend of it....
df -h ./Documents
No. Same output.

Then I thought:

du
the out put turns into a list of files.
Maybe let's throw a directory onto the end.
du -h ./Documents
Hot digity dog! That was it. And I didn't need to bug you guys!
