Setting file permissions

[Shari]

Not fully tested yet, but it seems to work on my system (OSX)

On initial launch, I get the name of the folder that the program 
resides in (on OSX deleting the last 4 items of the effective 
filename of the program) to get to the folder the users see).

Then make the following shell call:

get shell("chmod 777" && quote & fullPathToDirectoryOrFile & quote)

This changed the permissions for all users of that folder, even 
though the little padlock icon was locked in the Finder's Get Info 
window.

I then logged in as a different user, launched the program, and told 
it to create a text file in that folder.

It did.

Now.... will it work on Windows?

(Many thanks to the Revolution archives for this tidbit.  One of 
these days I'll join their mailing list :-)
