Yes, correct, its mounted through virtualbox (vboxsf) and the host is a window system which uses NTFS (I think). From a permission perspective 777 should be sufficient though. The question is why does emacs think that is not enough, and opens it as read-only? And even if I toggle the read-only mode, it complains while writing... thanks Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/
