[Hidden-tech] Mac Tech question

[Lynne Rudié]

Hi Jeff--
	Set up your menu in list mode--so that "size" is one of the  
categories. Then go to "view" in the tool bar and select "view  
options." At the bottom of the view options palette you should see  
"calculate all sizes." If you check that off it will begin to  
calculate the size of the folders as well as the individual files. (If  
you click on size at the top of the menu it will sort everything by  
file size if you want it to.) My advice is, once you are done deleting  
and copying, that you unselect the "calculate all sizes" again because  
it seems to slow down the display.
