that's a bit harsh, Roger! It's possible that maybe Gopal does not 
understand the man pages.

example:
chmod 750 filename1 filename2
first digit is user
second digit is group
third digit is everyone (world)
7 = allow file owner to read, write, execute
5 = allow members of file's group to read and execute
0 = do not let anyone else use the file

the numbers are calculated by adding these up
4 = allowed to read
2 = allowed to write
1 = allowed to execute.
so 750 = (4+2+1)(4+1)(0)
