This is what I need to accomplish in Unix.

Draw a picture with 16 little boxes and fill in the 1s and 0s for the mode for a directory with permission modes of rwxr-x--x.

I am totally stumped.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea, what you mean with that picture or the 0s and 1s. If you'd explain further, I might be able to help you there. I can however tell you, that (at least on linux) the command for setting the permissions to those chosen by you is
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. chmod 751 name_of_file

Thanks. I already found out what it was. I needed to convert it into code.
