You see? You are not even sure of the syntax yourself!
This is why it is much more useful to know the numeric method. I started
out with the alpha method, but could never remember the combinations,
and was always screwing up the permissions. When I started using the
numeric method, all my problems went away. It is *much* easier to work
with. Honest.
