One for the collateral benefit list:

Your example showed me how to do a programmatic chmod in BASIC.

30 R$="xeq chmod.hpbin.sys "+CHR$(34)+"777 filename"+CHR$(34)
40 SYSTEM H2,R$

Thanks,

P.S.  Your porting work has helped alot.  The members of the list have many
talents.  If each would invest a few hours a week, the cumulative benefit
for the 3000 would be great.
