[ale] how do I list big files

[Ron Frazier]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the tips.  I suspected it was something like that, but didn't 
know what.

I'm learning all the time, but it's a slow process.  I've been learning 
DOS / Windows for 26 years, Linux for 1 year.  It will take a while to 
develop comprehensive knowledge.  The first part of the learning curve 
is the hardest.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
