[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Why does my program set access privileges?

jayvana@wpi.wpi.edu (Jay van Achterberg) (05/05/90)

I'm writing a program which copies folders. This includes any files they
may contain. My problem is that any time my program makes a new folder and
copies a file into it, I can not throw out the folder from the finder.
I get a message something like "You do not have access privileges to
throw out a folder contained within that one."

Can anyone advise me what parameters of files/folders control access
privileges and what those parameters should be set to so that I can
have access privileges on my own system (no appletalk networks here,
my Mac is on its own).

Thanks!
