[thelist] Grabbing file size off the server?

I already use

SuppressSize to PREVENT size info appearing in a customised directory list

http://www.ime.org.uk/ime/

Thus, I guess the system variable "fsize" could be grabbed? [might be 
talking out of my stupid fat a** here?]

FSizeCommand

The SSI fsize command. It inserts the size of the unparsed file in the 
document, according to the current value of the variable sizefmt.See 
configCommand.

Parameters: none

Example:

<!--#fsize -->
