First - 'd' means 'directory'
'l' means 'symbolic link'
'-' means 'regular file'.
Second - the order is from left to right: owner, group and other, each with
3 enties for read, write and execute (rwx).
Third - 755 means 7 (read+write+execute) for owner, and 5 (read+execute)
for both group and other.
where read=4, write=2, execute=1

i have long since gone to the terminal and typed man ls and man chmod.

And unless my man pages are completely different than yours, there is absolutely no mention of how the directory permissions listings:
drwxrwxrwx and chmod NNN relate.
I am trying to find out first, what the d means. Second if its left to right owner, group ,other or other,group,owner or what.
Third, which chmod example: 755, effects which field.

I was hoping that some one could offer more than an rtfm but I suppose not.
