1st... Done .... I'm at work so who know what the settings are from week to
week. (ooops) I just got your other  mail , but I already set it to text
mode.

2nd I looked at the manpage on chmod and even looked it up in a book , but I
still get this error message saying" invalid mode" this is what I'm doing
ls-l
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Feb 19 12:08 images
chmod htmlgroup+w images
chmod: invalid mode

I know the group exist but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...... Does
chmod 765 file or directory allow to set it to a group??? If I'm on the
right track is that not what the 6 is for in 765... if this is true what
group is it?

Thanks
