To do this, go to any program in which you can select a drive
(KeyWord, File Manager, and so on) and press the same keystroke
you would use for getting information on a file or folder once
you have gotten the SD card option to be focused on (do not press
S at the drive prompt, press SPACE or down arrow until the BN
says SD Card). On a BT it is SPACE with I, so I imagine it would
be READ with I or something. The BN will say, "Disk Name: SD
Card. xx.xx mb free. Disk size: 984.67 mb." or something like
that for your 1gb SD card.

I've read the entire Braille Note Mpower QT manual, and I don't
recall it mentioning a way of getting how much space is free on
your card directly.
I suppose if you do a directory of all files and manually add up
the displayed file sizes and were to subtract this sum from the
size of the card you would get either a good approximation or an
exact amount of available storage.
If you have a PC with a card reader, I guess you could do a
directory on it with Windows and get the sum of file usage and
the free space.
Guess it pays to buy big storage cards.
I have a 1 GB SD card and was trying to figure out how many
cartons of punched cards it would take to hold the same amount of
data.
I think it is something incredible like a thousand cartons of
punch cards, each carton holding ten thousand cards to hold what
a little SD card that I could lose in my pocket if I'm not
careful can hold.
That is one very big saving of space!
