Well, you asked.

Just open the Terminal, and type man chmod, then press return. Space to
page down, B to page up, Q to quit.

I didn't ask to be baffled at all. I asked to be informed.

Indeed so, and as I explained, the information so displayed is beyond my
comprehension.

I fail to understand why you told me how to get that information which
I'd just told you I can't understand - especially since you knew I knew

Because I misinterpreted your your statement as meaning you didn't
understand where to *find* the information, not that you didn't
understand it once you found it.
