One big note.
Thats wrong to do this way.
If you start edit the working examples you lose you valuable good information.


More correct is to copy the examples directory to you home and then do chown and chmod

Similar if I try to make executable, it prompts for a name and I get a similar message to that above, but nothing happens. Nothing runs and no file appears to be created.
