thank you, will try this.
But does that mean that my previous "chmod" does not stick?

I noticed in the macOS file preview that the SHELL stuff contains something like this:
...
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation      X           
   /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Carbon
...
Does that mean that this depends on the CARBON Framework, which will be obsolete 
in (one of) the next macOS version, or maybe will get removed completely, right?


Best

Klaus
