Hehe :-) The principal thing that keeps me up is that I don't have
chmod(1) on my (poorly configured) Windows, and that I chmod quite
often the file I work with (I chmod -w file I don't want to modify,
but if I really have to, I chmod them back +w) :-)

Yep, if I plan to work with files, I'll launch a dired, then use
M. My point is that I'm most likely to change modes of one file, and
search it in dired mode is not the most direct way I know.

In that case, I see the GUI as a waste of time :-p

Yep, please do, but please do it with symbol parsing
([ugoa]*([+-=][rwxXstugo]+)+,...) too :-)
I'll then make my own wrapper around newly coded functions to have
the features I use ;-)
Thanks :-)
