Hi !
I'm not sure about this... I'm not using HP-UX, but try ls -al. The a option is used to see the hidden files (those who start with . ).

The first line in the output is the total sum of all file sizes. From man ls:
Quote:
-l (The lowercase letter ``ell''.) List in long format. (See below.) If the output is to a terminal, a total sum for all the file sizes is output on a line before the long listing.
This is probably in terms of blocks occupied and not in kilobytes.
