Richard: I completely agree. Apple is seemingly the worst in this 
regard. Especially considering the LC Dictionary entry for sysError 
where it states:

On Unix systems, thesysErrorfunctionreturnsthevalueof the "errno"variable.

On Windows systems, thesysErrorfunctionreturnsthevaluereturned by the 
"GetLastError()"function.

But absolutely no mention of where the OSX sysError value comes from. 
For Linux and Windows you can do a targeted search and find information. 
It was easy to find 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/system-error-codes 
(even if there is 15999 codes!)

If someone form LiveCode can tell me where the OSX sysError value 
actually comes from, I will try to (a) find an authoritative list and 
(b) finally learn enough of GIT to update the dictionary entry for sysError


Rick: Thank you for the confirmation that it is a permissions issue.
