You could always do  (typing into email, untested ...)
    put shell("ls -l " & theFileInQuestion) into temp
and then parse temp to get the size out.
If the filename could contain special characters (e.g. spaces) then you 
would need to add some extra level of quotes.

So it would be easier (and almost certainly faster) to do
    put the detailed files into temp
    filter temp with "*" & theFileInQuestion & "*")
and then parse that.
