Just reflecting here, I made myself sound a lot more stupid when I
asked this question.
The sticky bit is the fourth permission digit. So you have 4711
instead of 711 for programs that retain the owner's(usually root)
permissions.
Info fileutils has a words of sense in it amid a lot of other stuff.
It's a bit like reccomending 'man gcc' or 'man bash'.
