Disk space function

[Richard Gaskin]

I forget to include this in my post:

It's worth noting that while Metacard's docs were incorrect regarding the
diskspace function (the original poster is a MC customer), Jeanne's
comprehensive language documentation was not merely accurate, but also
included a very handy example function showing how to use it.

Interesting: the MetaCard documentation describes the diskspace function as
being accepted as a valid function name but not implemented and returning a
fixed value.

However, I ran this in the MC message box:

  answer folder "Select a folder:"; set the directory to it; put the
diskspace

...and it appears to work well on five mounted volumes here.

It seems sometime after the MC docs were written the function was
implemented in the engine but the docs not updated, and a search in the MC
2.5 Read Me turned up nothing for "diskspace".  :\
