Mac OS X permissions command could be more
succinct.
Old description:

>
> This line could be made quicker and easier by replacing "and navigate...

> This removes the work involved in locating the installation directory,
> making it a little less painless, and makes the fix a one-step process.
> It will also guarantee that the correct `django-admin.py` is modified.

New description:
In the ''Mac OSX Permissions'' box (at the top of
[http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/#creating-a-project
Creating a Project]), there is some text suggesting a possible permissions
solution:
||... To do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the `cd` command)
to the directory where `django-admin.py` is installed, then run the
command `chmod +x django-admin.py`.||
This line could be made quicker and easier by replacing "and navigate...
." with "and run the command {{{chmod +x `which django-admin.py`}}}."
This removes the work involved in locating the installation directory,
making it a little less painless, and makes the fix a one-step process.
It will also guarantee that the correct `django-admin.py` is modified.
Possible problem: Backticks can be difficult to recognize in some fonts,
but monospace fonts usually show them correctly. The user will most
likely copy and paste the command anyway, making this issue moot.
Comment:
This was really two bugs if we're being pedantic, so I fixed the "Max OS
X" typo separately and changed the description to focus on the "chmod +x
`which django-admin.py`" issue.
