Hi Karen,
It's binary. 
execute has a value of 1 
write a value of 2 
read a value of 4 
  read  read  read would be 444 


Owner              Group         Other
   read(4)           read(4)       read(4)
   write(2)                    
execute(1)     execute(1)   execute(1)
is           7                   5                 5 

HTH,
Buddy
  
:Is there a resource that "translates" chmode commands into what's used
:on WS_FPT? For instance, in configuring cgi scripts from Matt's Script
:archive, he gives directions on chmoding by using numbers. WS_FPT just
:has the choices of read/write/execute by server, etc. So, is there a
:place where I can find out exactly how to set up the file if it needs to
:be chmoded at 755, for instance? I'm very, very cgi-deficient and am
:trying to learn the hard way:-)
