Hi,

If you have the folder in List view, then press VO-r and the current row will 
be announced.  It won't say 5 out of 10, but will say row 5.  You can also know 
how many items are in the folder by accessing the Status bar, which if enabled 
is at the bottom of the window.  In High Sierra, you need to interact with the 
Status bar to hear its contents.  If it's not visible, press cmd-slash while in 
the folder and you can toggle it hidden or not.  I'm not sure if I seen the 
behaviour you're asking of in the Finder, but I know in things like iTunes, it 
will announce row whatever out of whatever.

Later...

That's a bit ambiguous, I know. What I want to know is how to have VoiceOver 
speak the number of the focused object in the currently opened folder--e.g., 
one of twenty, thirty-seven of five hundre fifty-two, etc. Of course, I know 
about the "Get info" dialog, but that only gives a summary of the selected 
object--i.e., file or folder. I should know this, and I'm pretty sure I once 
did, but of course, when one needs such things, they fly out of one's head! LOL

Thanks in advance. Don't beat me up too hard for being so forgetful, or I'll 
invoke the universal answer--wait till you're my age! LOL!
