 Wrong. File permissions and directory permissions are orthogonal.

Of course, how silly of me.  I knew that.  However, it does mean that
xemacs can't create the ~ file, but I guess that's what %backup% in my 
home directory is for.  (I think).

I don't usually try to edit files in directories that I can't also
write.
