whew... you mind pointing me in the direction of how all those work? :)
I'm not a programmer just guessing though that uid= user id? gid= group
id? fmask= file mask? but I don't know how to use that info...

the permission 700 is something I need to find out about also. I know
that it tells who can read, write, execute but I don't know what "700"
is exactly... execute only? no read no write?

If I just need to go buy a book (not a bad idea the more i think about
it) do you have one to recommend?

Thanks,
Jim
