"Yes" and "No" <chuckle>
It was the "Implies -s." in the section you quoted that hinted that 
"tree -sd" might be what I wanted.
I just tried "--du". It prints the detail entry for each file.
I wish to print only directory level.

However the information I want is displayed - on a terminal it is 
colored blue. Unfortunately when saved to a file it is all "black on 
white". Perhaps piping it somewhere will allow me to parse it in a 
desired fashion.

Thank you.
