In previous versions of Illustrator, there was a small window on the upper "toolbar" that displayed the dimensions of the selected item on the artboard. You could also use the H and V dropdowns to adjust dimensions manually, or you could type in the boxes to change the selected item's size, both proportionally or not, depending on whether the little "chain" link was clicked.
Here's a screenshot from Illustrator CS4 of the feature I'm talking about:
I've searched far and wide in Illustrator CC to find a way to toggle this panel on. Does anyone know where it is? It's NOT the Info palette, as that just gives you the dimensions of the selected item without any interactive controls.
TIA for pointing out what isn't obvious, at least to me...

is that panel there at all? if not, Window > Control
if it is there but with no transform controls, have a look at the panel's drop down menu:
i'm relying on not a lot having changed since CS5. if none of this helps, I can't be much more help

Thanks - it was there, all right. But I guess in CC the word "Transform" on the top bar is now a clickable link, which leans to the controls I'm looking for. If there's a way to make it appear expanded all the time, I dunno where that thing might be. After all, Opacity (also a clickable link here) shows the most commonly used control, the Opacity percentage, but somehow the Transform controls are now hidden in a panel that only appears when you click on the word "Transform".
Not so convenient, and, in the traduition of Adobe interface control "tinkering", probably customizable somewhere or other. This issue is discussed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5160738, but without and definitive answer, I think. BUT, that discussion gave me a hint, which proved to be the answer!
The "default" configuration of the top bar's included features, as selected from it's dropdown at the far top right, includes "everything" - some 25 different tools. If you deselect "enough" of them, voilá ! Back comes the display of whatever the interface "thinks" it has room to show! I just deselected tools until the Transform controls returned from the Land of Interface Invisibility. This is especially dumb, as there is plenty of apparent physical space on the bar to display the Transform controls. Of course, if you're running an enormous monitor at very high resolution, all of this stuff just goes away...
Thanks again for your suggestions!
If you want it as it was before you have to uncheck "Shapes" in the panel menu 
Here you go!
Under the Window tab.
