on mouseUp
    answer file "Select a file:"
    if it is empty then exit to top
    put FileSize(it)
end mouseUp

function FileSize pFilePath
    put the directory into tSaveDir
    set the itemdel to "/"
    put urlEncode(last item of pFilePath) into tFileName
    delete last item of pFilePath
    set the directory to pFilePath
    put the detailed files into tFiles
    set the directory to tSaveDir
    put lineoffset( cr& tFileName &comma, cr& tFiles) into tLineNum
    set the itemdel to comma
    return item 2 of line tLineNum of tFiles
end FileSize


But it really should be a one-liner, so I submitted a request for being 
able to obtain such info for a single file:
