The "Free" option shows the free space available for files.
It doesn't show "the total size of the RISC OS files". It
shows the size of the disc, the free space on the disc
and the used space on the disc. Where a HostFS mount
exists as part of a drive then the figures will relate to the
drive itself, not to the RISC OS use of that drive.
