I am a newbie. Which commands should I use to get an information about total size of all files on an disk which have
1. one type, for example *.aim
or 2. name of files starts with the same letters,
for example: poll*.*
Thank you!

Svetlana,

You can get this information with the DIRECTORY command:

$ dir/size/grand_total dka0:[000000...]*.aim

or

$ dir/size/grand dka0:[000000...]poll*.*

This will show the size used by the actual file data, but the disk space allocated to the files may be larger. To see the allocated size, change the /size qualifier to "/size=allocated".

There are many qualifiers for the directory command; try "help dir" to see them all.
