I m still new in Shell programming and I have some problems with it.
I need to make a program which will list down a number of files and it
will also state the total size used by the user. Any ideas or tips how
I can write this program?

make bash script.....
-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
x=`ls -l (your directory name without braces) | tr -s " " | cut -d " "
-f3,5`
echo "$x"
-------------------------------------------------
You can even do the above in the CLI...
try this out..if you have any problems do write back...Im new to shell
too, but Im sure others, more experienced people, will help you

Depends on the files you are looking for. All files or specific files?
#!/bin/ksh
ls -l /directory/path | awk '{print $5, $9}'
or
VARS=$(ls -l /directory/path | awk '{print $5, $9}')
for i in ${VARS}
do
command processing for each line
done
