Another option, assuming you do this in the posix shell (I missed the
original post), is to set the "umask" in /etc/profile.local to something
that would work for you until the chmod is executed.

I haven't looked up documentation for the default/mandatory ACD that
MPE creates for a file copied to an HFS directory, but maybe it uses
a very strict one that has to be "relaxed" by your chmod later?

Might something similar to the following do the trick?

 :build example ;rec=,,b
 :# using build to represent your file creation
 :altsec example ;newacd=(r:www.apache)
 :copy example, /APACHE/PUB/htdocs/example.html
 :# use listfile ,acd to verify the ACD settings
 :purge example

Assuming that the user doing this can copy to the target directory ;-)

Lars.
