Thanks for your reply Michael,
I have no terminal/unix knowledge. Can you lead to a starting point?
First touch with X here. :-)
But is the security at risk if the script is to be used on a specific
directory and contained files and compiled? Could the stored password be
retrieved???Could you give an example of such script?

Can you not just use /Users/Shared?
User1 putting a file in /Users/Shared... User2 cannot delete the file since
the owner is User1. I need User2 and all others to be able to delete the
files in this particular directory. I find /Users/Shared not to be a REAL
shared area. Why doesn't elements dropped in there are modified like when it
is dropped in a drop box (the drop box changed the owner so that the drop
box owner ca do whatever they want with the file).
Thanks again!
