Is there an easy way to get the size of a complete linked object?

I want to calculate the bounding polygon <width, length, height> of the object that holds the script. No problem for a prim, but when the object is made up of a bunch of linked prims, I don't see a quick-n-easy way. Am I missing something?

What Jillian said. You can then easily mash the maximum and minimum values down easy enough:

CODE
// Returns a list with two vectors: Minimum and Maximum, in that order.
// The first two are useful if you're looking for exact points in space
// However, if you want size, all you need is simple math.

list stuff = llGetBoundingBox(llGetKey());
vector size = llList2Vector(stuff,1) - llList2Vector(stuff,0);

sheesh, couldn't find it by navigating the wiki home page

https://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage

Should this maybe appear under Primatives or some subtopic so that boobs like me could find it?

(I could add it but I'm a little gunshy editing the wiki until I know LSL better)
