    OK, I have an external drive with 5 partitions.  I selected the actual 
drive itself in Disk Utility and then choose the partition tab.  In the scroll 
area that shows the 5 partitions, I selected one with VO-spacebar.  When I stop 
interacting with the scroll area, I see the name of that partition, it's 
format, which is dimmed, but I can change the size, as the edit field can be 
altered.
