Ok this is a totally lame question I am sure, but file permissions in n*x list as drwxrwxrwx (for 777 if I'm not mistaken)

is there some where that I can find information on the ordering and meaning of this permission sceme (It's read/write/execute if I am not mistaken) but I need to know how chmod and that permission listing match up. Or if it's chmod that is used for it.

Permission modes (like 777, 744, etc.) are documented in the chmod(1) man page. The ordering and meaning of permissions is documented in the ls(1) man page.

PB can open man pages, but it tends to throw off the formatting for some pages, so I don't recommend it... I use and recommend ManOpen, which you can find on VersionTracker.
