Disktop 4.0 will.  Highlight the folder you're interested in and hit
the "sizes" button.  In the finder, "Get Info" will.  However, what is
frustrating about both of these solutions is that once calculated,
this information is thrown away, and so when I'm file cleaning, I have
to scribble this stuff down on scratch paper.  It would be nice if the
value were retained and displayed once calculated.
