CGI permissions

[Mark Smith]

It's a stack (no UI elements) which has some template html stored in 
custom properties, tries to get the data from the files and "puts" the 
result.
It's opened from a simple text CGI.

I think the problem maybe that the the files are in a folder on my 
desktop - however, having changed the permissions for the desktop to 
644 ( was this a stupid thing to do? no-one else uses the machine), the 
problem persists. The stack works properly in the IDE, and the paths to 
the files are absolute and complete, as it were (no specialFolderPath, 
or anything).

Thanks,

Mark
