    I can open a document and copy it to a new file but it doesn't trust
    me to change anything, a matter of permissions perhaps but I can't
    see where to change it.

    Am I alone in this, can anyone tell me what I need to do?
I saw similar symptoms a while back.

Are the files on the local machine, or are they on an NFS mount?  If the
latter, try (temporarily) taking down the firewall on the server.

If that works, look here for more details:

I don't remember how I copied them but I had all the old F-10 files on the nfs server and quite likely took them from there. At any rate I've got things working with some external stimulation from this mailing list.

Thanks again

Bob
