umask

[Björnke von Gierke]

I agree that david should try it himself, especially as it's so easy to test?
Note that he meant the umask within LC, not the terminal command.

on mouseUp
   set the umask to 777
   ask file ""
   put "boo" into url ("file:" & it)
end mouseUp

Result: umask doesn't change permissions of files created by lc on mac os x
