[Gambas-user] Documentation CHMOD

[T Lee Davidson]

In the example given on the documentation page (Chmod "~/Documents" To "rwxr-x---"), the special mode bits are omitted. As I
understand it, if you wanted to change only the Group and Other bits, you could use the permission string, "r-x---".

It appears that your example string, "..x.......", has one too many characters if the eXecute bit is positioned correctly.
