Thanks to all the people who told me about the -R flag in chmod.   
This applies the specified permissions change to all sub-folders of  
the selected folder (but does NOT traverse symbolic links).  Exactly  
what I needed.  (BTW, I was unable to RTFMan pages because the  
non-extended OS doesn't have them; when I finally get my CD-ROM  
drive, I'll have access to them).

In 3.0, the same can be apparently be accomplished from Workspace, by  
selecting the folder, choosing cmd-4, and then picking options from  
the panel that comes up; I'll take several people's word that this  
works.  For the same reason cited above, I'm still using 2.1.

Ciao, Stefano
