Hehe, Looks like your due for the good old `man bash', brace yourself, its quite a read but it wont take you all weekend ;-) Cheers, -Tristan chmod 777 * for i in `find . -maxdepth 1`; do chmod 777 $i; done chmod 777 `find . -maxdepth 1` Or recursivly chmod 777 -R . for i in `find . `; do chmod 777 $i; done chmod 777 `find . ` _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
