The properties for the selected object/s or the active window are 
displayed in an 'Info about <object name>' dialog, dependent upon the 
object type:

 ⇨ Drives        ⇨ Files on the desktop
 ⇨ Trashcan      ⇨ Folder/s on the desktop
 ⇨ Clipboard     ⇨ Files in directories
 ⇨ Printer       ⇨ Folder/s in directories
 ⇨ Groups        ⇨ Group objects

If several objects are selected on the desktop or in a group, a series of 
appropriate dialogs appears in turn.

If one selects several folders and files in a directory, then a dialog 
appears first showing the number and total size of the files and folders, 
inclusive of all sub-directories. Select the  Details  button in this 
dialog to display the individual 'Info' dialogs in turn for each selected 
object.

If a single group or desktop object is selected (file or folder), one can 
also obtain information about the directory object it represents by 
holding down  Alternate  when selecting the menu entry.
