I don't understand your last line. How is it different to "for i in *; blah"? Or even just "du -hs ."?

  It was just an example... instead of "ls -1" you could use any other command that returns a list The "du -hs ." will only return the size of the current directory, but that was also an example. You could use any other command that you wanted to perform over each item in the list returned by the first command. Not sure if this is clear enough, please let me know.
