size for selected files and subdirectories. For example, selecting
a directory in File Manager, choosing Info, then selecting Show
File Size Information shows information similar to the following:
The specified selection contains...

- Display Bytes As KB: This option displays in kilobytes the total
file size displayed in the Show File Size Information option. The
file size is displayed in kilobytes instead of bytes, as in the
above example.
